Question

please write out and show work for each question answered.

  1. 6 pts using direct substitution, evaluate the following limits.

a. \\( \lim_{x \to 2} x^3 - 6x + 3 = \\)
b. \\( \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^2 + 1}{3x^2} = \\)

  1. (9 pts) find the derivative of the following functions using power rule (assumed context):

a. \\( f(x) = 5x^{10} + 2 \\)
\\( f(x) = \underline{\quad} \\)
b. \\( g(x) = 4x^{3/2} \\)
\\( g(x) = \underline{\quad} \\)
c. \\( h(x) = \frac{3}{x^2} \\)
\\( h(x) = \underline{\quad} \\)

  1. (3 pts) suppose that \\( f(5) = 2, f(5) = 4, g(5) = -2, \\) and \\( g(5) = -1 \\).

find \\( h(5) \\) where \\( h(x) = 3f(x) - 5g(x) \\)
\\( h(5) = \underline{\quad} \\)

Explanation:

Response
Problem 1a

Step1: Substitute \( x = 2 \) into the function

\( \lim_{x
ightarrow 2} x^{3}-6x + 3=2^{3}-6\times2 + 3 \)

Step2: Calculate each term

\( 2^{3}=8 \), \( 6\times2 = 12 \), so \( 8-12 + 3=-1 \)

Step1: Substitute \( x = 1 \) into the function

\( \lim_{x
ightarrow 1}\frac{x^{2}+1}{3x^{2}}=\frac{1^{2}+1}{3\times1^{2}} \)

Step2: Simplify the numerator and denominator

Numerator: \( 1 + 1=2 \), Denominator: \( 3\times1 = 3 \), so \( \frac{2}{3} \)

Step1: Apply the power rule \( \frac{d}{dx}(x^{n})=nx^{n - 1} \) and constant rule (derivative of constant is 0)

For \( f(x)=5x^{10}+2 \), derivative of \( 5x^{10} \) is \( 5\times10x^{10 - 1} \), derivative of 2 is 0.

Step2: Simplify

\( 5\times10x^{9}=50x^{9} \)

Answer:

\( -1 \)
