Question

For f(x)=3x^4, find dy/dx using the definition,

dy/dx=limΔx→0 Δy/Δx= limΔx→0 f(x+Δx)−f(x)/Δx.

 

(a) First, evaluate Δy=f(x+Δx)−f(x) and express it in the form Δy=L(x,Δx)⋅Δx. Use dx to represent Δx.

Δy=                  

(b) Using the L(x,Δx)Δx above, find the simplified derivative dy/dx= limΔx→0 Δy/Δx.

dy/dx= limΔx→0 Δy/Δx=
