Then \begin{align*} (fg)'&=f'g' \\ f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x) &= f'(x)g'(x) \\ 2e^{2x} \cdot e^{2x} + e^{2x} \cdot 2e^{2x} &= 2e^{2x} \cdot 2e^{2x} \\ 2e^{4x}+2e^{4x} &= 4e^{4x} \\ 4e^{4x} &= 4e^{4x} \end{align*} Thus we have that $(fg)'=f'g'$.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 2 %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item Suppose that $f$ is differentiable at 2 and 4 with $f(2)=2,\ f(4)=3,\ f'(2)=\pi$, and $f'(4)=e$. \begin{enumerate} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 2 (a) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item If $g(x)=xf(x^2)$, find $g'(2)$.\\ \begin{align*} g'(x) &= (xf(x^2))' \\ &= x' \cdot f(x^2)+x \cdot f'(x^2) \cdot 2x &\text{by the } \textit{Product Rule} \text{ and the } \textit{Chain Rule} \\ &= 1 \cdot f(x^2) + x \cdot f'(x^2) \cdot 2x \\ &\Downarrow \\ g'(2) &= f(x^2) + x \cdot f'(x^2) \cdot 2x \\ &= f(2^2) + 2 \cdot f'(2^2) \cdot 2(2)\\ &= f(4)+2 \cdot f'(4) \cdot 2(2) \\ &= 3+2 \cdot e \cdot 4 \\ &= 3+8e \end{align*} So $g'(2) = 3+8e$.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 2 (b) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item If $g(x)=f^2(\sqrt{x})$, find $g'(4)$.\\ \begin{align*} g'(x) &= ([f(\sqrt{x})]^2)' \\ &= 2[f(\sqrt{x})] \cdot f'(\sqrt{x}) \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} &\text{by the } \textit{Chain Rule} \\ &\Downarrow \\ g'(4) &= 2[f(\sqrt{4})] \cdot f'(\sqrt{4}) \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{4}} \\ &= 2 \cdot f(2) \cdot f'(2) \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot 2} \\ &= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \frac{1}{4} \\ &= \frac{4\pi}{4} \\ &= \pi \end{align*} So $g'(4)=\pi$.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 2 (c) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item If $g(x)=x/f(x^3)$, find $g'(\sqrt[3]{2})$. \\ \begin{align*} g'(x) &= \left(\frac{x}{f(x^3)}\right)' \\ &= \frac{x' \cdot f(x^3) - x \cdot f'(x^3) \cdot 3x^2}{\left(f(x^3)\right)^2} &\text{by the } \textit{Quotient Rule} \\ &= \frac{1 \cdot f(x^3)-x \cdot f'(x^3) \cdot 3x^2}{(f(x^3))^2} \\ &\Downarrow \\ g'(\sqrt[3]{2}) &= \frac{f((\sqrt[3]{2})^3)-\sqrt[3]{2} \cdot f'((\sqrt[3]{2})^3) \cdot 3(\sqrt[3]{2})^2}{(f((\sqrt[3]{2})^3))^2} \\ &= \frac{f(2)-3(\sqrt[3]{2})^2\sqrt[3]{2} \cdot f'(2)}{(f(2))^2} \\ &= \frac{2-3\cdot 2 \cdot \pi}{2^2} \\ &= \frac{2-6 \cdot \pi}{4} \\ &= \frac{1-3 \cdot \pi}{2} \end{align*} So $g'(\sqrt[3]{2})=\frac{1-3\pi}{2}$.\\ \end{enumerate} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 3 %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item Determine if each function is differentiable at the given point. If so, find its derivative. If not, explain why not. \begin{enumerate} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 3 (a) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item At $x=1$ for $f(x)=\begin{cases} 3x-2 &\text{if } x<1 \\ x^3 &\text{if } x \geq 1 \end{cases}$\\ We note that $f(1)=1^3=1$. First, let us find $f'(x)$ for each part of the function. So when $x<1$: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3(x+h)-2-(3x-2)}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3x+3h-2-3x+2}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3h}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} 3 \\ &= 3 \end{align*} So $f'(x)=3$ when $x <1$ And when $x \geq 1$: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^3-x^3}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{h^3-3h^2x+3hx^2+x^3-x^3}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{h^3-3h^2x+3hx^2}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{h(h^2-3hx+3x^2)}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} h^2-3hx+3x^2 \\ &= 0^2+3(0)x+3x^2 \\ &= 0+0+3x^2 \\ &= 3x^2 \end{align*} So $f'(x)=3x^2$ when $x \geq 1$.\\ Now we must check for differentiability when $x=1$. So \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} \frac{x^3-1}{x-1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} \frac{\cancel{(x-1)}(x^2+x+1)}{\cancel{(x-1)}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} (x^2+x+1) \\ &= 1^2+1+1 \\ &= 1 + 1 + 1 \\ &= 3 \end{align*} And \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} \frac{3x-2-1}{x-1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} \frac{3x-3}{x-1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} \frac{3\cancel{(x-1)}}{\cancel{(x-1)}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} 3 \\ &= 3 \end{align*} So since $\lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} = 3 = \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}$, we have that the limits are equal, and thus the limit exists which yields that $f$ is differentiable at $x=1$.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 3 (b) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item At $x=1$ for $f(x):=\begin{cases} 2x+1 &\text{if } x < 1 \\ x^2 &\text{if } x \geq 1 \end{cases}$\\ In order for $f$ to be differentiable, it must also be continuous. So let us first ensure that $f$ is continuous.\\ So we have \[\lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} 2x+1 =2(1)+1=3\] and \[\lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} x^2 = 1^2=1\] Since $\lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = 3 \neq 1 = \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} f(x)$, we have that $f$ is not continuous, and thus $f$ is not differentiable at $x=1$.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 3 (c) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item At $x=1$ for $f(x):=\begin{cases} 3x-2 &\text{if } x<1 \\ x^2 &\text{if } x \geq 1 \end{cases}$\\ We will show that $f$ is \textbf{not} differentiable at $x=1$. We first note that $f(1)=1^2=1$. Now let us find the derivatives of $f$ for each part of the piece wise function. So for $x<1$: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3(x+h)-2-(3x-2)}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3x+3h-2-3x+2}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3h}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} 3 \\ &= 3 \end{align*} So $f'(x)=3$ when $x<1$.\\ And for the case where $x \geq 1$: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^2-x^2}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{h^2+2hx+x^2-x^2}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{h(h+2x)}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} (h+2x) \\ &= 0+2x \\ &=2x \end{align*} So $f'(x)=2x$ for $x \geq 1$.\\ Now we must show that $f$ is \textbf{not} differentiable at $x=1$. So \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} \frac{3x-2-1}{x-1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} \frac{3x-3}{x-1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} \frac{3\cancel{(x-1)}}{\cancel{x-1}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} 3 \\ &= 3 \end{align*} And \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} \frac{x^2-1}{x-1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} \frac{\cancel{(x-1)}(x+1)}{\cancel{x-1}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} (x+1) \\ &= 1+1 \\ &= 2 \end{align*} So since $\lim\limits_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = 3 \neq 2 = \lim\limits_{x \to 1^+} f(x)$, we have that the limit does not exist at $x=1$, and thus $f$ is not differentiable at $x=1$, but is continuous. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 3 (d) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item (Sec. 6.1, pr. 4) At $x=0$ for $f(x):=\begin{cases} x^2 &\text{if } x \text{ is rational} \\ 0 &\text{if } x \text{ is irrational} \end{cases}$\\ First, we note that $0 \in \Q$ and $f(0)=0^2=0$.\\ Let $g(x):=\frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0}=\frac{f(x)}{x}$. Then for $x \neq 0$: \[g(x):=\begin{cases} x, & x \in \Q \\ 0, & x \in \R \setminus \Q \end{cases}\] So, we have that the given function is differentiable at 0 if and only if $\lim\limits_{x \to 0} g(x)$ exists. In this case, the limit is $f'(0)$.\\ We note that $-|x| \leq g(x) \leq |x|$, and that $\lim\limits_{x \to 0} -|x|=\lim\limits_{x \to 0} |x|= 0$.\\ Recall the \textit{Squeeze Theorem}: \begin{theorem*}[\textbf{Squeeze Theorem}] Let $A \subseteq \R$, let $f,g,h:A \rightarrow \R$, and let $c \in \R$ be a cluster point of $A$. If \[f(x) \leq g(x) \leq h(x)\ \ \ \ \text{for all}\ \ \ \ x \in A,\ x \neq c,\] and if $\lim\limits_{x\to c} f = L = \lim\limits_{x\to c} h$, then $\lim\limits_{x\to c} g =L$. \end{theorem*} By the \textit{Squeeze Theorem} $\lim\limits_{x \to 0} g(x)=0$. Thus we have that $f$ is differentiable at $x=0$ and $f'(0)=0$.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 3 (e) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item At $x=0$ for $f(x):=\begin{cases} x &\text{if } x \text{ is rational} \\ 0 &\text{if } x \text{ is irrational} \end{cases}$ \\ We want to show that $f(x)$ is \textbf{not} differentiable at $x=0$. First we note that $f(0)=0$. So let us first find the derivatives of $f(x)$ for each piece of the function. So for $x \in \Q$: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{x+h-x}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{h}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} 1 \\ &= 1 \end{align*} So $f'(x)=1$ when $x \in \Q$.\\ Now, for $x \in \R \setminus \Q$: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{0-0}{h} \\ &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} 0 \\ &= 0 \end{align*} So $f'(x)=0$ when $x \in \R\setminus\Q$.\\ Now we want to show that $f$ is \textbf{not} differentiable at $x=0$. So there's four cases we must consider: $x$ approaches zero from the left along a sequence of rational numbers, $x$ approaches zero from the right along a sequence of rational numbers, $x$ approaches zero from the left along a sequence of irrational numbers, and $x$ approaches zero from the right along a sequence of irrational numbers.\\ For the case where $x$ approaches 0 from the left along a sequence of rational numbers: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c^-} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^-} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0} \\ &=\lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^-} \frac{x-0}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^-} \frac{x}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^-} 1 \\ &= 1 \end{align*} And for $x$ approaches 0 from the right along a sequence of rational numbers: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c^+} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^+} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^+} \frac{x-0}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^+} \frac{x}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0+} 1 \\ &= 1 \end{align*} For the case where $x$ approaches 0 from the left along a sequence of irrational numbers: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c^-} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^-} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^-} \frac{0-0}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^-} \frac{0}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^-} 0 \\ &= 0 \end{align*} And for $x$ approaching 0 from the right along a sequence of irrational numbers: \begin{align*} \lim\limits_{x \to c^+} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^+} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^+} \frac{0-0}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^+} \frac{0}{x} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^+} 0 \\ &= 0 \end{align*} So we have that \[\lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^-} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x}=\lim\limits_{x \in \Q \to 0^+} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x}=1\] and \[0 = \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^+} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x} = \lim\limits_{x \in \R \setminus \Q \to 0^-} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x}\] However, since these limits are not equal to each other since $0 \neq 1$, we have that the limit does not exist at $x=0$, and thus $f$ is \textbf{not} differentiable at $x=0$ but is continuous.\\ \end{enumerate} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 4 %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item \begin{enumerate} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 4 (a) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item Prove: If $f$ is differentiable on $\R$, then $f'(x)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)-f(x-h)}{h}$\\ \begin{proof} Assume that $f:A \subseteq \R \to \R$ is differentiable on $\R$. Then we know that \[f'(x):=\lim\limits_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c} = \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\] Recall the definition of the derivative: \theoremstyle{definition} \begin{definition*} Let $I \subseteq \R$ be an interval, let $f:I \rightarrow \R$, and let $ c \in I$. We say that a real number $L$ is the \textbf{derivative of $f$ at $c$} if given any $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists $\delta (\varepsilon) > 0$ such that if $x \in I$ satisfies $0 < |x-c|<\delta (\varepsilon)$, then \[\abs{\frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}-L}<\varepsilon.\] In this case we say that $f$ is \textbf{differentiable} at $c$, and we write $f'(c)$ for $L$. In other words, the derivative of $f$ at $c$ is given by the limit \[f'(c) = \lim_{x\to c} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}\] provided this limit exists. (We allow the possibility that $c$ may be the endpoint of the interval.) \end{definition*} Assume $f'(x)=L$ for some $L \in \R$. Then \[\forall\ \varepsilon > 0,\ \exists\ \delta(\varepsilon) > 0 \st [x \in A \st 0<|x-c|<\delta(\varepsilon)] \implies \abs{\frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}-L}<\varepsilon\] Now, let $h:=x-c$. Then $c=x-h$. So \[\forall\ \varepsilon > 0,\ \exists\ \delta(\varepsilon) > 0 \st [x \in A \st 0<|h|<\delta(\varepsilon)] \implies \abs{\frac{f(x)-f(x-h)}{h}-L}<\varepsilon\] \[\equiv\] \[\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)-f(x-h)}{h}=L\] And thus \[f'(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)-f(x-h)}{h}\] \end{proof} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 4 (b) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item Show $f'(x)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3f(x+h)-f(x)-2f(x-h)}{5h}$\\ \begin{align*} f'(x) &= \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3f(x+h)-f(x)-2f(x-h)}{5h} \\ &= \frac{3}{5}\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)}{h} - \frac{1}{5} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{h} - \frac{2}{5} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x-h)}{h} \\ &= \frac{3}{5}\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)}{h} - \frac{3}{5} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{h} + \frac{2}{5} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{h} - \frac{2}{5} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x-h)}{h} \\ &= \frac{3}{5} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} + \frac{2}{5} \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)-f(x-h)}{h} \\ &= \frac{3}{5} \cdot f'(x)+\frac{2}{5} \cdot f'(x) \\ &= f'(x) \end{align*} Thus $f'(x)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{3f(x+h)-f(x)-2f(x-h)}{5h}$.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% Question 4 (c) %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item Find constant $c$ such that $f'(x)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{5f(x+h)-f(x)-4f(x-h)}{ch}$\\ Let $c=9$.
