Ex 12.2, 3 Find the derivative of 99x at x = 100 Let f (x) = x We need to find derivative of f(x) at x = 100 i.e. fβ (100) We know that fβ (x) = (πππ)β¬(ββ0)β‘γ(π(π₯ + β) β π (π₯))/βγ Here, f(x) = 99x So, f(x + h) = 99(x + h) = 99x + 99h Putting values fβ (x) = limβ¬(hβ0)β‘γ((99π₯ +99β) β 99π₯)/βγ = limβ¬(hβ0)β‘γ(99π₯ +99β β 99π₯)/βγ = limβ¬(hβ0)β‘γ99β/βγ = limβ¬(hβ0) 99 = 99 Hence, fβ(x) = 99 Putting x = 100 fβ(100) = 99 So, derivative of 99x at x = 100 is 99
