- True or False: If limit as xà0 of f(x) equals zero then f(0)=0. If false provide an illustrative example to support your conclusion.arrow_forwardConsider the function f(x)=x2.a. Use the limit definition to compute the following derivative values. Recall that the limit definition of the derivative is: f′(a)=limh→0f(a+h)-f(a)h . See the Written Example for a reminder of how to use the limit definition of the derivative.f′(0)= f′(1)= f′(2)= f′(3)=arrow_forwardThe limit, lim h→0 ((8+h)^2/3 -8^2/3)/h is the derivative of some function f(x) evaluated at x=a.
