Find the derivative of the function using the definition of derivative. f(x) = 1/ root 2 + x
Added by Jose Angel A.
Step 1
The derivative of a function f(x) at a point x is defined as: f'(x) = lim(h->0) [f(x + h) - f(x)] / h In this case, our function is f(x) = 1 / √(2 + x). So, we need to find f(x + h) and then substitute it into the limit definition. Show more…
