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