Find f '(a).
7t + 11
t + 4
f(t) =
Part 1 of 3
To find f '(a), we will use the formula
f(t) – f(a)
t - a
f '(a) =
lim
7t + 11
Since f(t)
we have
t + 4
7t + 11
7a + 11
f '(a) = lim
t + 4
a + 4
t - a
Putting the fractions in the numerator over a common denominator and simplifying, we have
7t + 11
t + 4
7a + 11
a + 4
(7t + 11)( a +4
) - (7a + 11)(t + 4)
