II) Use definition of derivative to find derivative for the following functions: 1) \(f(x) = \frac{1}{1-x}\) 2) \(f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2}\) 3) \(f(x) = \sqrt{2x + 1}\) 4) \(f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}}\)

Step 1: For the function f(x) = 1/(1-x), we will use the definition of derivative: f'(x) = lim(h->0) [f(x+h) - f(x)] / h Show more…
