Study Notes
Calculating the Derivative at a General Point
-
The derivative of a function f(x) at a point x₀ is calculated using the limit:
f'(x₀) = lim (h→0) [f(x₀ + h) - f(x₀)] / h -
This represents the instantaneous rate of change of the function at x₀.
Example Function: f(x) = x²
-
For x₀ = 2, find f'(2)
-
Substitute x₀ = 2 into the general derivative formula to find f'(2)
f'(2) = lim (h→0) [(2 + h)² - 2²] / h -
Expanding and simplifying the expression within the limit: f'(2) = lim (h→0) [4 + 4h + h² - 4] / h f'(2) = lim (h→0) [4h + h²] / h
-
Factor out an 'h' from the numerator and simplify: f'(2) = lim (h→0) h(4 + h) / h f'(2) = lim (h→0) (4 + h)
-
Evaluating the limit as h approaches 0 gives the derivative at x₀ = 2: f'(2) = 4
-
Therefore, the derivative of f(x) = x² at x = 2 is 4.
