ou are given the following function. f(x) = 1/10 x − 1/4 (a) find the derivative of the function using the definition of derivative.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  f'(x) = 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the derivative of the function f(x) = 1/10x -1/4.

Derivative

The derivative is the limit ...

  [tex]\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}{\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}}\\\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}{\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{1}{10}(x+h)-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)-\left(\dfrac{1}{10}(x)-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}{h}}\\\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}{\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{10}h}{h}}\\\\\\\boxed{f'(x)=\dfrac{1}{10}}[/tex]
