Notes – Basic Calculus – Midterms

I. Limits
A. Definition
Let f(x) be a function defined on an interval that contains x=b, except possibly at x=b.
Then we say that,

lim f ( x )=L
x→ b

This is read as: The limit of f of x as x approaches b is equal to L.

Note: The value of L does not need to be a whole number.
The limit of a function can be defined as the value a function approaches.
B. Examples
Para mas madali buhay natin, i-s-separate ko ang examples into 2: graphical
representations, and simple functions.
B.1 Graphical Representations
Pakita ko muna ano itsura ng limits.

Kung narindi kayo sa palagi niyong naririnig na the

limit exists, the limit does not exist, the limit from the right and from the left are equal ganun
ganun sa discussion. Oo, nakakainis nga pakinggan.
Simplehan nalang natin pag-explain.
A limit only exists if there is a continuation of a curve from the left and from the right of
the point.
Wow super english. Pano yan.

Anong value ng x yung may hollow na circle?

Diba x = 0.
Ano yung value ng limit at x = 0?
Diba 1?
So easy diba.
The limit of the graph as x approaches 0 is 1.

Talaga ba? Ganun lang kadali?

Oo. Kung may hollow na dot, yun na yung limit
niya. Ang saya diba.

So ano yung limit dito?

Ay super easy, edi 6.

Well, yan yung limit nung graph from the right.

Ano daw?
“As long as there is a continuation from the left
and from the right.”
Dun sa hollow na circle, meron bang katuloy
dun sa left?

Oo, yung nasa taas.

Connected ba siya dun sa hollow na circle?
Hindi diba?

Dito na papasok yung sinasabing “the limit from the left” atYun
yunglang ibig
“the sabihin
limit fromnun.
the right” na
favorite ng teachers natin.
To give you an idea,
At x = 2, the limit from the left of x = 2 is equal to 8, the limit from the right is 6.

Pano naging limit yung 8 sa left, e hindi naman hollow?

The value of a function can be equal to the value of the limit. Ibig sabihin lang nun, kapag solid
yung dot, pwede pa rin siyang ma-consider as limit. Kasi nga diba yung definition natin ng limit,
the value that a function approaches. Sa x = 2, na-a-approach ng value ng function yung 8 from
the left.
The same can be said from the right. Sa x = 2, na-a-approach ng value ng function yung 6 from
the right.
Pero here’s what you should remember: When the values of the limits from the left and from
the right are not equal, the limit does not exist. The value of the limit only exists if these
values are equal.
Since hindi equal ang 6 sa 8, hindi nag-e-exist yung limit sa x = 2. Gets mo?
Pano pag tinamaan ka ng ganitong klaseng tanong?

Assume that a = 3,

What is the limit of the function as x

approaches 3?

Napaka-easy naman nyan. Edi positive

infinity.
Talaga? Ano value ng positive infinity? Hirap sagutin diba. Hahahahaha. So ganito yun, ang
infinity kase, hindi siya defined value. Concept lang siya na nagsasabing the value of the
function is very high.
Ganito: If the value of a function approaches infinity, the limit does not exist.
Okay? Okay.

Diba dun bumibili ng murang damit?

Funny mo po. Tawa ka pls mga 09451980544 times.

Para alam mo:
 lim ¿ lim ¿
+¿ −¿
x→ 1 f (x)¿ x→ 1 f (x)¿

Kapag may plus dun sa taas, ibig sabihin “The limit from the right”.
Kapag may minus dun sa taas, ibig sabihin “The limit from the left”.
Kapag ganito, yung rule na nag-e-exist lang yung limit kapag may continuation sa left and right
ay di na mag-a-apply. Hanapin niyo lang kung saang part siya ng graph. Balikan natin this:

lim
−¿
x→ 1 f (x)¿
¿
=8

lim
+¿
x→ 1 f (x)¿
¿
=6

Gets ba? Oo diba. Oo yaaaan.

In summary:
1. A limit only exists if there is a continuation of a curve from the left and from the right of
the point.
2. When the values of the limits from the left and from the right are not equal, the limit
does not exist. The value of the limit only exists if these values are equal.
3. If the value of a function approaches infinity, the limit does not exist.
Okay ba? Okay ka.
B.2 Function Examples of Limits
As always, sisimulan ko sa madali, tas pahirap ng pahirap, okay? Sana oks lang.
Oy that looks family ah.
Sikreto lang natin pero kumukuha lang ako given mula dun sa huling notes na binigay ko.
1. lim f ( x )=x 2+ 6 x +3
x →1

Medyo ibang klaseng halimaw ang functions kaya wag mag-expect na super madali ha.
Ang goal lang natin when it comes to dealing with limits is finding the value of f(x). So yung
x 1, dun sa baba nung “lim”, yun yung gagamitin nating value ng x.
Ganito kase yun,

Kita mo yung hollow na dot

na yun?

Yun ang limit.

Sa value kasi ng x na yan,

which is x = 2, undefined or
indeterminate yung value ng
y. Ibig sabihin lang nun, pag
nilagay sa calculator, lalabas
MATH ERROR.

Tanong: Sa lahat ba ng function, may limit?

Yes. The only time na mag-iiba ang value ng limit (or hollow na circle dun sa graph) sa value ng
function is if merong square root, or rational function ‘yung given.
Basta kung may nakita kayong ganito,
a
√a or b

Almost always, merong limit ‘yun. Don’t worry, may examples later. Pero balik muna tayo dun
sa given kanina.

1. lim f ( x )=x 2+ 6 x +3
x →1

Eh, asan yung square root at fraction dyan? Ibig sabihin ba nun walang sagot dyan?
Sana all, no? ‘Wag nalang sagutan? Joke. Pwedeng maging equal ang value ng function at
yung value ng limit nung function.
So, try muna natin i-simplify yung given.
Sabi niya, the limit of f(x) as x approaches 1, so i-substitute natin yung x=1 sa mismong
function.
At x = 1,

lim f ( x )=x 2+ 6 x +3
x →1

lim x 2 +6 x +3
x →1

= (1)2 + 6(1) + 3
=1+6+3
= 10
So the limit of f(x) as x approaches 1 is equal to 10.
‘Yun na, yay. Nasagot mo na the question. Ang saya diba?

Ganun lang yun? Oo, ganun lang yun. Mag-celebrate ka na kasi sa lahat ng function na
walang square root, or fraction, palaging madali ang buhay. Kelangan mo lang mag-
substitute tas yay tapos ka na.

x2
2. lim f ( x )=
x →1 3

Halaaaa, yan naaaa may fraction naaaa. Oh nooooo.

Ganito, bago ka mag-panic, i-substitute mo muna. x = 1.

x2
lim f ( x )=
x →1 3

x2
3

(1)2
3

=
3

.... bakit naka box na? Final answer na yan? Ano???!?!?!?

Balik ka sa previous page (page 6), diba sabi ko “Pwedeng maging equal ang value ng
function at yung value ng limit nung function.”

Ano? Eh diba pag fraction iba dapat yung value nung function sa value ng limit?
Always always always substitute muna. Kung may lumabas na value, yun na yung final answer.
Kung wala, ‘dun na tayo medyo iiyak. Here’s an example:

2−2 x2
3. lim f ( x )=
x →1 x−1
Try muna natin i-substitute.

2−2 x2
lim f ( x )=
x →1 x−1

2−2(1)2
(1)−1
0
0
Indeterminate

Hala wala na. Di na pwede yan.

Dito mo na mararanasan unang sakit sa ulo sa Basic Calculus. Kasi kung tutuusin, madali lang
naman yung graphical representation, madali lang rin yung pag substitute, pero pano na kapag
ganito.
Pero first ha: Before simplifying anything, make sure that the value of the function is
indeterminate or zero over zero.
0
Ibig sabihin nun, substitute muna, tas kung lumabas na sagot is , tyaka mo lang gawin yung
0
susunod na step.
2
2−2 x
lim f ( x )=
x →1 x−1
Remember factoring? Kung swerte ka, lahat ng ‘to alam mo na
2
3x + 4x = x (3x + 4) by heart.

x2 + 2x + 1 = (x+1)2
Kung hindi, don’t worry, papa-alala ko
x2 – 1 = (x + 1)(x - 1) yung mga kelangan mong tandaan.

2−2 x2
lim f ( x )=
x →1 x−1

This can also be written as:

 2(1−x2 )
lim
x →1 x−1
2(1+ x )(1−x)
lim
x →1 x−1
−2( x +1)(x−1)
lim
x →1 x−1
−2( x +1)(x−1)
lim
x →1 x−1
lim −2(x+ 1)
x →1

Oh teka teka. Medyo mabilis. Easy lang.

Yung dun sa 2 – 2x2, parehas silang may 2. Pwede mo siya ilabas. I-divide mo siya per term.
2
2
at −2 x
2 2

So magiging,
2 ( 1 – x2 )
Gets? Gets.
Yung dun sa 1 – x2, difference of two squares.
x2 – y2 = (x + y)(x - y)
1 – x2 = (1 + x) (1 – x)
Gets? Gets.

San galing yung red na negative sign?

Kapag baliktad yung x tyaka yung constant tas minus yung nasa gitna, ilabas mo lang yung
negative sign. Yun, mag-b-baliktad na position nila.

After mo umabot sa puntong ‘to,

lim −2(x+ 1)
x →1

Happy na. Kasi mag-su-substitute ka nalang. Yay.

- 2 (x + 1)
- 2 [(1) + 1]
 -2 (2)
=-4
x
4. lim f ( x )=
x →0 √ x +9−3
Substitute ulit. Yes.
(0)
√(0)+9−3
0
3−3
0
0
Ayan. Indeterminate ulit.
Remember conjugates?

√ x−3 × √ x+3 = x−9

2 √ x+3 2 √ x +6
√ x +3+5 × √ x +3−5 = ( x +3)−25
4x √ x +3−5 4 x √ x +3−20 x
Yes. Gagamitin lang siya if and only if merong square root na nasa fraction. Kopyahin lang yung
dalawang term (e.g. √ x+ 3at 5) tapos ibahin yung sign sa gitna (e.g. from + to -).
Gawin natin siya dun sa given na problem:

x x +9+ 3
lim ×√
x →0 √ x+ 9−3 √ x +9+ 3
lim x ( √ x+ 9+3)
x→0
( x+ 9 )−9
x ( √ x +9+3)
lim ⁡
x →0 x
lim √ x +9+3
x →0

Tapos yay. Substitute na.

√(0)+9+ 3
 3+3
=6

pwede ma-include dito or ma-PM ko sa’yo ang solution. Thank you!]
II. Discontinuities
A. Definition
A discontinuity is point at which a mathematical object is discontinuous.

Kainis no? Mag-s-search ka sa internet ng deefinition, ganyan lalabas. Napakahelpful.

B. Examples
Pakita ko nalang ano itsura ng mga yun.

C. Types
1. Jump Discontinuity - The function is approaching different values depending on the direction
x is coming from. When this happens, we say the function has a jump discontinuity at x=a.
2. Infinite Discontinuity - The arrows on the function indicate it will grow infinitely large as x
approaches a. Since the function doesn't approach a particular finite value, the limit does not
exist. This is an infinite discontinuity.
3. Removable Discontinuity - A removable discontinuity is a point on the graph that is undefined
or does not fit the rest of the graph. There is a gap at that location when you are looking at the
graph. When graphed, a removable discontinuity is marked by an open circle on the graph at the
point where the graph is undefined or is a different value like this.

Note: Essential Discontinuities include infinite and removable discontinuities.

Ýung jump discontinuity, wala lang. Special lang siya parang bulalo.
D. Examples
Think of a graph, any graph of any function.
These graphs are example of continuous graphs. What that means is, for every
value in the domain, there is a corresponding value of y.
For a function to be discontinuous, at least one value of x must have a value of y
that does not exist.
Sa ibang salita, halos lahat taken, tas may kawawang single. Di ko sinasabing ako
‘to, pero parang ganun na nga.
There are three conditions that determine if a function is continuous at a given
point x:
1. The value of the function or f(x) must exist.

2. The limit of the function or lim

x→ a
f (x )must exist.

3. f (x) = lim
x→ a
f (x)

If any of these conditions are not met, the graph is discontinuous at that given
point.
Type of Condition 1 Condition 2 Condition 3
Discontinuity f(x) exists limit of f(x) exists f(x) = limit f(x)
✓ ✓ ×
Removable
× ✓ ×
Jump ✓ × - real value ×
× - positive or
Infinite × ×
negative infinity
Table 1 shows the relationship between.. joke. Research e no.
‘Yan na yung super shortcut na alam ko. Pag nakacheck, ibig sabihin may lalabas na value. Pag
x, walang lalabas, either undefined or indeterminate. Or kung calculator, math error.
No need to memorize it naman, pero kung gusto mo super madali lang buhay mo, go ahead.

x 2−2 x
1. f ( x )= , at x = 2.
x2 −4
Substitute munaaa.

x 2−2 x
f ( x )=
x2 −4

( 2)2−2( 2)
f ( x )=
(2)2−4
 0
f ( x )= =indeterminate
0
So ibig sabihin, × tayo dun sa first condition. Kasi f(x) does not exist.
Since indeterminate siya, pwede natin hanapin si limit. I-simplify muna ganon.

x 2−2 x
lim
x →2 x 2−4
x ( x−2)
lim
x →2 (x−2)(x +2)
x ( x−2)
lim
x →2 (x−2)(x +2)
x
lim
x →2 ( x+2)
(2)
(2+2)
1
=2

Balik dun sa table. Condition 1 natin hindi nag-a-apply so ×, Condition 2 natin may sagot so ✓,
pero since hindi sila equal, Condition 3 ay ×.

So anong discontinuity siya? Removable. Yaaaay.

2
2. Given the function, f (x)= x ,∧x ≤ 1 , determine the discontinuities in the given function.
{
6−x ,∧x >1

Ano nanaman yan??????

Tawag dyan piecewise function. Sa right side, yung x ≤ 1 at x >1, yun yung conditions. Kapag
may given value ang x, hanapin mo muna kung anong conditon ang na-f-fulfill. For example, at
x = 2, ano ba siya, less than or greater than 1? Diba greater than 1. So gagamitin mo is 6 – x.

Ay okay nice. So paano ko hahanapin yung discontinuities?

Easy lang. Balikan mo yung function, diba parehas na 1? x ≤ 1 at x >1?
Andun yung discontinuity. Yay.
So try natin, at x = 1, what type of discontinuity is there?
Condition 1: f(x) exists
Si x = 1, ano ba siya sa x ≤ 1 or x >1?
Less than or equal to 1, diba? So gagamitin natin x2

f ( x )=x 2

f ( 1 ) =(1)2
f ( 1 ) =1

So Condition 1 natin is ✓.
Condition 2: The limit of f(x) exists.
Alala mo kanina nung notes ng I. Limits, “when the values of the limits from the left and
from the right are not equal, the limit does not exist. The value of the limit only exists if
these values are equal.”
So hanapin natin yung value ng limits from the left and from the right.
lim ¿ at lim ¿
+¿ +¿
x→ 1 f (x)¿ x→ 1 f (x)¿

Since hinahanap natin yung limit at x = 1, gagamitin natin x → 1 at x → 1 , pero kung x = 2

+¿¿ −¿¿

ganun, gawin mo lang na x -> 2. Ganun.

lim ¿
+¿
x→ 1 f (x)¿

Ang ibig sabihin lang nung x → 1+¿¿, all values to right of 1. So merong 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2, 10000,
ganun, pati 1.000001. Basta lahat ng value na mas mataas sa 1. Balikan natin yung condition dun
sa given na function, x ≤ 1 at x >1, yung mga 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 ganun, greater than 1 siya.
So ibig sabihin yung gagamitin nating function ay: f ( x )=6−x.
At x = 1,
lim ¿
+¿
x→ 1 6−x ¿

6–1
=5
Ang ibig sabihin lang nung x → 1−¿¿ , all values to left of 1. So merong 0.9, 0.99, 0.5, 0, -1,
ganun. Basta lahat ng value na mas mababa sa 1. Balik ulit tayo dun sa conditions. x ≤ 1 at x >1,
ang 0.9, 0.99 ganun less than 1 siya diba?
So ibig sabihin yung gagamitin nating function ay: f ( x )=x 2.
lim ¿
−¿ 2
x→ 1 x ¿

(1)2
 =1
Limit natin from the left = 1, limit natin from the right = 5. Di sila equal, so the limit does not
exist.
Which means Condition 2 natin is ×.
Since hindi nag-e-exist condition 2 natin, condition 3 natin ay × din.
Balik sa table, anong type of discontinuity siya? Jump. Yaaaaay. Ganun lang. Happy diba.
[Note: Kung may problems ka na gusto mong matutunan ang solution, pa-PM nalang ako, para
pwede ma-include dito or ma-PM ko sa’yo ang solution. Thank you!]
III. Derivatives
Hello and welcome sa pinakamahirap na part ng Basic Calculus sa Midterms.
A. Definition:
The derivative of f ( x ) with respect to x is the function f ' ( x ) and is defined as:
f ( x+ h )−f (x)
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
A derivative is known to be the slope of a curve at a given point.

Hirap na nga ng functions kapag x lang, dadagdag pa si h?

Oo eh. Sorry. Pero bakit parang kasalanan ko? Parang ako ang may kasalanan?
By the way, yung symbol na h, sa ibang classes ginagamit na symbol ay  x
Eitherway, ganun din naman meaning, mas mahirap lang isulat yung triangle. Kaya h nalang.
B. Examples:
1. Find f ' ( x ) if f ( x )=3 x2 −2 x +1.
Balikan lang muna natin yung definition ni derivative. Ginagamit niya yung formula na ‘to:
f ( x+ h )−f (x)
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
Meron tayong f(x), pano natin kukunin si f(x+h)?

Wag na. Masyado mahirap.

Ang gagawin lang natin, lahat ng x dun sa given na function, papalitan lang natin ng x+h.

f ( x )=3 x 2−2 x+ 1
f ( x +h ) =3( x +h)2−2(x +h)+1
Yun lang. Di naman super mahirap. Kelangan lang natin i-simplify.
Start with things na super madali lang.
−2( x +h)+1
−¿2x – 2h + 1
Pano naman yung 3(x+h)2
Again, hatiin niyo lang sa mga bagay na mas madali.
3 × (x + h)2
3 × (x2 + 2xh + h2)
3x2 + 3 (2xh) + 3h2
3x2 + 6xh + 3h2
Pagsamahin:

f ( x +h ) =3( x +h)2−2(x +h)+1

f ( x +h ) =¿3x2 + 6xh + 3h2] −¿2x – 2h + 1

May h talaga e. Scary.

Oo, pero oks lang yan. Tuloy lang muna natin simplification.
Using the formula:
f ( x+ h )−f (x)
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
I-substitute na natin si f(x + h) tyaka si f(x)

{[ 3 x 2+6 xh+ 3 h2 ]−2 x – 2 h+1 }−[3 x 2−2 x+1]

f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
Oo medyo mahaba. Focus lang muna tayo dun sa numerator para less scary.

{ [3 x 2 +6 xh+3 h2 ]−2 x – 2 h+1 }−[3 x 2−2 x +1]

Anong meron sa mga nakacircle na iba-ibang kulay?
Diba yung red na circle, parehas silang 3x2, yung sa green parehas silang 2x, sa purple parehas
silang 1. Pag in-expand lahat yan, mapapansin mo na lahat sila magkakaiba yung sign. Diba,
kung 3 + (-3) ang lalabas na sagot ay 0? Ganun din dito, since same naman sila, pero magkaiba
yung sign, ang lalabas na sagot ay 0. Ibig sabihin, matatanggal sila.
Ang maiiwan satin:

{ [3 x 2 +6 xh+3 h2 ]−2 x – 2 h+1 }−[3 x 2−2 x +1]

6xh + 3h2 – 2h
Balikan natin yung fraction kanina:

{[ 3 x 2+6 xh+ 3 h2 ]−2 x – 2 h+1 }−[3 x 2−2 x+1]

f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
Magiging:

6 xh+3 h2−2 h
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
Lahat sila may h sa numerator diba? Pwede natin ilabas yun.
h(6 x +3 h−2)
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
Tanggalin yung h sa numerator at denominator.
h(6 x +3 h−2)
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
f ' ( x )=lim 6 x +3 h−2
h →0

Substitute niyo yung h = 0,

6x + 3h – 2
= 6x – 2

Haba ng solusyon ang ikli ng sagot ha.

Ganun talaga. Nakakainis din ang math minsan.
Isa pang example na ganun din para super gets natin.
2. Find f ' ( x ) if f(x) = 3x – x2. Oo nga pala, if ever na makita
Simulan ulit natin sa f(x + h) niyong given ay y = 3x – x2
ganun. Imbis na f(x) nagiging
f ( x +h ) =3( x +h)−( x+ h)2 y, parehas lang ibig sabihin
nun.
Simplify.
3 (x + h)
 3x + 3h
(x + h)2
x2 + 2xh + h2
Pagsamahin.

f ( x +h ) =3( x +h)−( x+ h)2

f ( x +h ) =3 x+3 h−( x 2 +2 xh+h2 )

Expand.

f ( x +h ) =3 x+3 h−x 2−2 xh−h 2

Substitute.
f ( x+ h )−f (x)
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h

3 x +3 h−x2 −2 xh−h2−(3 x−x 2)

f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
Numerator ulit. Circles.

3 x+ 3 h−x 2−2 xh−h2−(3 x−x 2 )

3 x+ 3 h−x 2−2 xh−h2−(3 x−x 2 )

Maiiwan:

3 h−2 xh−h2
Balik dun sa fraction.

3 h−2 xh−h2
f ' x =lim
( )
h →0 h
Ilabas si h.
h(3−2 x−h)
f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
Tanggalin si h.
f ' ( x )=lim 3−2 x−h
h →0

Substitute si h = 0.
3 – 2x – h
= 3 – 2x
Try it for yourself hehe.
Find the derivative of: Yung mga
1. y = 6x – 3 (f’(x) = 6) nakaparenthesis sa side
na ‘to, yun dapat yung
2. y = 2x3 (f’(x) = 6x2) makukuha mong sagot.
3. y = 3x2 – 4x (f’(x) = 6x – 4)
Move on tayo sa specific examples ng derivatives. Sa part na ‘to, same lang din yung process,
ang pinagkaiba, meron nang ibibigay na value ng x.
1. Find f’(0) if f(x) = 2 x 4 +3 x3 −2 x +7
May bagong formula ulit! Yay!
f ( x )−f (a)
f ' ( a )=lim
x→ a x−a
So kung tutuusin, mas madali ‘tong formula na ‘to kesa kanina.
Try natin.
Ano ba ang f (0)
f(x) = 2 x 4 +3 x3 −2 x +7
f(0) = 7
Since yung tatlong term may x, any number multiplied to 0, is 0. Maiiwan lang si 7.
Substitute natin siya dun sa formula:

[ 2 x 4 + 3 x 3−2 x +7 ]−[7]
f ' ( 0 ) =lim
x→ 0 x−0

' [2 x 4 +3 x 3−2 x+7 ]−[7 ]

f ( 0 ) =li m
x →0 x−0

' 2 x 4 + 3 x 3−2 x
f ( 0 ) =lim
x→ 0 x
Labas natin si x.

x (2 x 3 +3 x 2−2)
f ' ( 0 ) =lim
x→ 0 x
Tanggalin si x.
f ' ( 0 ) =lim 2 x 3+ 3 x 2−2
x→ 0

Substitute natin si x = 0.

2 x3 +3 x 2−2
0+0–2
=-2
Mas madali ba ‘to kesa kanina? Yes. Sobra. Pero syempre, di mawawala yung mga mahihirap na
example.
2. Find f’(1) if f(x) = √ x+ 8
Hanapin ulit natin f(1).
f(x) = √ x+ 8

f(1) = √ (1)+8

√9
f(1) = 3
Substitute ulit sa formula.
[ √ x +8]−[3]
f ' ( 1 )=lim
x →1 x −1
Alala niyo pa si conjugate mula sa discussion ng limits? Yes. Gagamitin ulit natin siya here.

[ √ x +8]−[3] [ √ x +8 ] +[3]
f ' ( 1 )=lim ×
x →1 x −1 [ √ x +8 ] +[3]
Diba, copy paste lang ng terms. Ibahin lang yung sign sa gitna.
Simplify.
( x +8 )−9
f ' ( 1 )=lim
x →1 x−1( √ x +8+3)
x−1
f ' ( 1 )=lim
x →1 x−1( √ x +8+3)
Tanggalin natin si x – 1.
1
f ' ( 1 )=lim
x →1 ( √ x+ 8+3)
Substitute natin si x = 1.
 1
( √ x+ 8+3)

=
( √ 9+3) 6
Try it for yourself ulit.
1. Find f’(-1) if f(x) = 3 x 3−4 x+10 (2)
