f(x)=6/(x-6) The expression inside the limit simplifies to a simple fraction with numerator = and denominator = We can cancel the factor ( ) appearing in the denominator against a similar factor appearing in the numerator leaving a simpler fraction with numerator = and denominator =
@ZeHanz
Not much you can do there unless you typed it incorrectly. There are no common factors to cancel.
Really ? :( this is my question
but the first question was saying \[fprime (x)\lim_{t \rightarrow x}\]
@calmat01 is it make sense?
ok, so are you saying you are being asked to take the limit of the function as t approaches x?
Can you give me a picture of the question?
If you can post the question in its entirety, I might be able to figure out what is going on.
ok!
hrer you go,
*here
Great. Now I understand the question. But it looks like part of the problem was cut off. It says your answer above and the next few answers below will involve t and....should that be x?
yes, x. thats right
Okay, so we have to use the definition of the derivative, which in this case is as follows: \[f \prime(x)=\lim_{t \rightarrow x}\ \frac{ f(x+t)-f(x) }{x- t}\]
yes, i know this part.
i will take note
Ok, so you have used this formula in other problems, correct?
yes, thats correct
ok, so now comes the fun part!
It is going to take me a while to type this up so have a little patience.
I think I am going to use a different program and then upload my answer. Give me a few moments.
ok no problem,
Ok, question for you because I'm dealing with a diffferent issue here. In the fromula I gave you above, is the denominator of the limit t, or x-t in the program you are using because that makes a big difference in the answer.
Nevermind. I just answered my own question.
Here you go, I will be back shortly if you have any questions with it.
thats really cool, thank you . is this for the first answer?
I got it! but I am not sure where the answers for each questions!
The answer for your first blank is the top line. The derivative definition is modified slightly from what I first put in my initial reply.
The answers to the 2nd and 3rd blanks come from the third line from the bottom of my answer. The numerator is -6(x-t) and the denominator is the product of the three terms (x-t)(x+6)(t+6).
The answer to the fourth blank is the factor that is removed from both the numerator and denominator of my answer.
Tha answer to the fifth and six blanks are fouind in the second step from the bottom of my answer.
The last blank is answered by my last step.
