- Sign of the Derivative: Suppose f=f(x). What is the sign of dfdx in each of the following situations? a. The function f is increasing. b. The graph of f has reached a peak. c. The function f is decreasing. d The graph of f is a horizontal line.arrow_forwardCalculating limits The following limits are the derivatives ofa composite function g at a point a.a.

- 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)= 0f′(1)= 2f′(2)= 4f′(3)= 6b. Observe that the work to find f′(a) is the same, regardless of the value of a. Based on your work in (a), what do you conjecture is the value of f′(4)? How about f′(5)? (Note: you should not use the limite definition of the derivative to find either value.)f′(4)= f′(5)= c. Conjecture a formula for f′(a) that depends only on the value a. That is, in the same way that we have a formula for f(x) (recall f(x)=x2), see if you can use your work above to guess a formula for f′(a) in terms of a.f′(a)=arrow_forwardThe limit represents a derivative ?′(?).f′(a).

Let: f(x) = 1 /x (a) Use the limit definition of derivative to find f'(x). (b) Verify your answer to (a) using the Power Rule. (c) Use the Power Rule to find f"(x), f'''(x) and f^(4) (x).
