Limits and Derivatives

Find the derivative of the following functions (it is to be understood that $a,b,c,d,p,q,r$ and $s$ are fixed non-zero constants and $m$ and $n$ are integers) : $\frac{{{x^2}\cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)}}{{\sin x}}$.

Assume, $f(x) = \frac{{{x^2}\cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)}}{{\sin x}}$. Upon differentiating with respect to $x$ and applying quotient rule we get, ${f^\prime }(x) = \cos \frac{\pi }{4} \cdot...

Find $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x){\text{ }}$and $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f(x)$, where $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{gathered}   2x + 3x \leqslant 0 \hfill \\   3\left( {x + 1} \right)x > 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered}  \right.$.

We have the function, $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{gathered} 2x + 3x \leqslant 0 \hfill \\ 3\left( {x + 1} \right)x > 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered}  \right.$ Evaluating $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0}...

Let ${a_1},{a_2},….,{a_n}$ be fixed real numbers and define a function $f(x) = \left( {x – {a_1}} \right)\left( {x – {a_2}} \right)….\left( {x – {a_n}} \right)$. What is $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {a_1}} f(x)$? For some $a \ne {a_1},{a_2},….,{a_n}$, Compute $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} f(x)$.

We are given, $f(x) = \left( {x - {a_1}} \right)\left( {x - {a_2}} \right)....\left( {x - {a_n}} \right)$ Evaluating $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\text{x}} \to {{\text{a}}_1}} {\text{f}}({\text{x}})$...
