Derivative using direct definition of derivative 2-x/2+x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Daniel [21]2 years ago
3 0

Let <em>f(x)</em> = (2 - <em>x</em>)/(2 + <em>x</em>). By definition of the derivative,

\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h

\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\frac{2-(x+h)}{2+(x+h)}-\frac{2-x}{2+x}}h

\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\frac{(2-x-h)(2+x)-(2-x)(2+x+h)}{(2+x+h)(2+x)}}h

\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{-4h}{h(2+x+h)(2+x)}

\displaystyle f'(x)=-4\lim_{h\to0}\frac1{(2+x+h)(2+x)}=\boxed{-\frac4{(2+x)^2}}

Simplify the expression: w2 + 7w2 + 8w - 5 + 9 - 2w2
ololo11 [35]
<h3>6w^2 +8w +4 is the simplified expression</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

We have to simplify

w^2 + 7w^2 + 8w -5+9-2w^2

We can simplify the above expression by combining the like terms

Like terms are terms that has same variable with same exponent and same or different coefficient

From given,

w^2 + 7w^2 + 8w -5+9-2w^2

Group the like terms

w^2 + 7w^2 -2w^2 + 8w - 5+9\\\\Combine\ the\ like\ terms\\\\6w^2 +8w -5+9\\\\Combine\ the\ constants\\\\6w^2 +8w +4

Thus the given expression is simplified

Simplify 5m-2(6m-5)+2<br><br>a. -7m-8<br>b. -7m+12<br>c. 17m+12<br>d. 17m-8
fgiga [73]

The answer is B. -7m+12.


First distribute the -2 to 6m and -5.

5m-2(6m-5)+2

5m+(-2*6m)+(-2*-5)+2

5m+-12m+10+2


After that, combine the like terms.

5m+-12m+10+2

-5m+-12m=-7m

10+2=12


The simplified expression is -7m+12.
