Cálculo de derivadas usando a definição PROBLEMA 8 : Use a definição de derivada via limite para calcular a derivada f'(x), para . SOLUTION: (Eliminate the square root terms in the numerator of the expression by multiplying by the conjugate of the numerator divided by itself.) (Algebraically and arithmetically simplify the expression in the numerator. It is important to note that the denominator of this expression should be left in factored form so that the term can be easily eliminated later.) (Factor (The term from the numerator.) now divides out and the limit can be calculated.)
