Question
Is a constant function, say $f(x)=c \neq 0, o(h)$ ?
Step 1
In mathematical analysis, if a function $g(h)$ is $o(h)$ as $h \to 0$, it means that $\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{g(h)}{h} = 0$. This is a way of saying that $g(h)$ becomes negligible compared to $h$ as $h$ approaches zero. Show more…

For the constant function $f(x)=c,$ use the definition of the derivative to show that $f^{\prime}(x)=0$.

Rules of Differentiation
Find $f^{\prime}(0)$ and $f^{\prime}(1).$ $$f(x)=\frac{a x+b}{c x+d} ; \quad a, b, c, d \text { constant. }$$

Some Differentiation Formulas
If $f(x) \cdot f(y)=f(x)+f(y)+f(x y)-2 \forall x, y \in R$ and if $f(x)$ is not a constant function, then the value of $f(1)$ is (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 0 (D) $-1$
