Powered by AIUse L'Hôpital's Rule. Since both the numerator and denominator approach zero as \( x \to -a \), apply the derivative to both the numerator, \(x^9 + a^9\), and the denominator, \(x + a\). The derivative of the numerator is \(9x^8\) and of the denominator is 1, leading to \( \lim_{x \to -a} 9x^8 = 9. \) Hence, solving for \(x = -a\) gives \((-a)^8 = 1\), meaning \(a = \pm1\).
This evaluates the behavior of the harmonic series as \( n \) approaches infinity. The harmonic series diverges, meaning the sum grows indefinitely. As such, the fraction \( \frac{1}{H_n} \), where \( H_n \) is the n-th harmonic number, tends towards zero. Hence, \( \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + ... + \frac{1}{n}} = 0 \).
Recognize the function as a quotient and apply the quotient rule: \( \frac{(x + 2)(2x - 3) - (x^2 - 3x + 2)(1)}{(x + 2)^2} \). Simplifying leads to \( \frac{x^2 + 4x - 6}{(x + 2)^2} \). By re-evaluating and simply applying polynomial division first, the result can be further simplified, yielding \( 1 - \frac{10}{(x + 2)^2} \). Hence, \(f'(x) = 2 - \frac{10}{(x + 2)^2}\).
Start by simplifying using trigonometric identities: \(1 - \cos x = 2\sin^2(\frac{x}{2})\). The limit simplifies using the small angle approximations for cosine and sine. Separate the terms and reduce terms: \(1 - \cos x \approx \frac{x^2}{2}\). The function transforms based on identities, applying L'Hôpital's Rule to simplify it down twice, ultimately leading to a finite answer due to the heavy cancellations of the increased orders of small angle identities and series expansions. The result simplifies to 0 as all major necessary terms become dominated by small angles .
Examining the derivative of \( \sin 2x \) by first principles provides insight into how trigonometric derivatives get systematically applied. Start with \( \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sin(2(x+h)) - \sin(2x)}{h} \) and using the sine angle addition formula, simplify to \( 2\cos(2x) \). The derivative is confirmed as \( 2\cos(2x) \), illustrating how derivatives of periodic functions change by transformations, in this case, doubling the angle impact from its argument .
Using first principles, the derivative of \( f(x) = e^{\tan x} \) is found by using the limit definition \( f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{e^{\tan(x+h)} - e^{\tan x}}{h} \). Expanding \( \tan(x+h) \) using the identity \( \tan(x+h) = \tan x + \sec^2 x \cdot h + O(h^2) \), this becomes \( e^{\tan x}(e^{\sec^2 x \cdot h} - 1) \approx e^{\tan x} \sec^2 x \), thus \( f'(x) = e^{\tan x} \sec^2 x \).
Employ the quotient rule for derivatives of fractions. Let \( u = 1 + \tan x \) and \( v = 1 - \tan x \). Therefore, \( u' = \sec^2 x \) and \( v' = -\sec^2 x \). Applying the quotient rule yields \( \frac{v \cdot u' - u \cdot v'}{v^2} = \frac{(1 - \tan x)(\sec^2 x) + (1 + \tan x)(\sec^2 x)}{(1 - \tan x)^2} \). By simplification, this results in \( \frac{2 \sec^2 x}{(1 - \tan x)^2} \).
Apply the chain rule, taking into account \( y = (\tan x)^2 \). Let \( u = \tan x \), thus \( y = u^2 \). The derivative is \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 2u \cdot \frac{du}{dx} = 2\tan x \cdot \sec^2 x \). This simplifies to \( 2\tan x \sec^2 x \), indicating the degree to which changing x impacts the output due to the tangent squared transformation, and reflects the interplay of trigonometric conjunctions .
