Derivative using DELTA METHOD.

y =
4-X
Transcribed Image Text:y = 4-X
1. Increment x by small amount Ax and y by Ay.
y+ Ay = f( x+ Ax)
2. Substitute y = f(x) and solve for Ay.
Ay = f( x+ Ax) - f(x)
3. Perform some suitable operation to the right hand member of the result of Step 2, so that
Ax will be its factor. This should be done to satisfy the limit of the quotient, that is, the limit
of the denominator is not zero.
4. Divide both side of the equation by Ax.
Ay_ f( x + Ax) – [(x)

5. Determine the limit of both sides as Ax approaches zero.
