Example 19 Find the derivative of f from the first principle, where f is given by (ii) f(x) = x + 1/x Given f (x) = x + 1/x We need to find Derivative of f(x) i.e. f’ (x) We know that f’(x) = lim┬(h→0) 𝑓⁡〖(𝑥 + ℎ) − 𝑓(𝑥)〗/ℎ Here, f(x) = x + 1/x f(x + h) = (x + h) + 1/(x + ℎ) Putting values f’(x) = lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(((𝑥 + ℎ)+ 1/(𝑥 + ℎ)) − (𝑥 + 1/𝑥))/h〗 = lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(𝑥 + ℎ+ 1/(𝑥 + ℎ) − 𝑥 − 1/(𝑥 ))/h〗 = lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(ℎ+ 1/(𝑥 + ℎ) − 1/𝑥 + 𝑥 − 𝑥)/ℎ〗 = lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(ℎ+ 1/(𝑥 + ℎ) − 1/𝑥)/ℎ〗 = lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(ℎ+ (𝑥 − (𝑥 − ℎ))/((𝑥 + ℎ) (𝑥)))/ℎ〗 = lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(ℎ + ((−ℎ))/((𝑥 + ℎ) 𝑥))/ℎ〗 = lim┬(h→0)⁡〖( ℎ(1 − 1/((𝑥 + ℎ) 𝑥)))/ℎ〗 = lim┬(h→0)⁡(1−1/((𝑥 + ℎ) 𝑥)) Putting h = 0 = [1−1/(𝑥 (𝑥 + 0) )] = 𝟏−𝟏/(𝒙𝟐 )
