- Derivative Notation
Basic Power Rule:
- f(x) = cxⁿ
- f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹
Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the limit:
When we directly plug in <em>x</em> = 0, we see that we would have an indeterminate form:
This tells us we need to use L'Hoptial's Rule. Let's differentiate the limit:
Plugging in <em>x</em> = 0 again, we would get:
Since we reached another indeterminate form, let's apply L'Hoptial's Rule again:
Substitute in <em>x</em> = 0 once more:
And we have our final answer.
