If f(x) is defined by f(x) x^2. find f(2). - Vidyadip

Question

If $f(x)$ is defined by $f(x) x^2$. find $f(2).$

✓

Answer

Given: $f(x) = x^2.$
We know a polynomial function is everywhere differentiable.
Therefore $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x = 2.$
$\text{f}'(2)=\lim_\limits{\text{k}\rightarrow0}\text{f}\frac{(2+\text{h})-\text{f}(2)}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(2)=\lim_\limits{\text{k}\rightarrow0}\text{f}\frac{(2+\text{h})2-22}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(2)=\lim_\limits{\text{k}\rightarrow0}\text{f}\frac{(4+\text{h}2-4\text{h})-4}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(2)=\lim_\limits{\text{k}\rightarrow0}\text{f}\frac{\text{h}(\text{h}+4)}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(2)=4$
