अध्ययन से पूर्व (आवश्यक ज्ञान)
- Functions and graphs.
- Algebraic simplification.
- Average velocity.
इस अध्याय के लक्ष्य
- Explain intuitive concept of Limit: $\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L$ via Left Hand Limit (LHL) and Right Hand Limit (RHL).
- Evaluate algebraic limits and indeterminate forms ($0/0$).
- Apply standard limits: $\lim_{x \to a} \frac{x^n - a^n}{x - a} = n a^{n-1}$ and $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$.
- Define Derivative from First Principles: $f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$.
- Apply rules of differentiation: Power rule, Product rule $(uv)' = u'v + uv'$, and Quotient rule $(\frac{u}{v})' = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}$.

1. The Concept of Limits
A limit describes the value a function approaches as input approaches a point: $$\lim_{x \to a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to a^+} f(x) = L \implies \mathbf{\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L}$$ Standard Trigonometric Limit: $\mathbf{\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1}$ and $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1 - \cos x}{x} = 0$.
2. Derivatives from First Principles
The Derivative represents the instantaneous rate of change of $f(x)$ with respect to $x$: $$\mathbf{f'(x) = \frac{df}{dx} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h}}$$
3. Differentiation Rules
- Power Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = n x^{n-1}$.
- Product Rule: $\mathbf{\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u \frac{dv}{dx} + v \frac{du}{dx}}$.
- Quotient Rule: $\mathbf{\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right) = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2}}$.
- Trigonometric Derivatives: $\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) = \cos x$, $\frac{d}{dx}(\cos x) = -\sin x$, $\frac{d}{dx}(\tan x) = \sec^2 x$.

Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{15} - 1}{x^{10} - 1}$.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Divide numerator and denominator by $(x - 1)$: $\frac{\lim \frac{x^{15}-1}{x-1}}{\lim \frac{x^{10}-1}{x-1}} = \frac{15(1)^{14}}{10(1)^9} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{2}$.

2
Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 4x}{\sin 2x}$.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Rewrite as $\lim_{x \to 0} [\frac{\sin 4x}{4x} \cdot \frac{2x}{\sin 2x} \cdot \frac{4}{2}] = 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 2$.

Find the derivative of $f(x) = \sin x$ from first principles.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: $f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sin(x+h) - \sin x}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2\cos(x + h/2)\sin(h/2)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} [\cos(x + h/2) \cdot \frac{\sin(h/2)}{h/2}] = \cos x \cdot 1 = \cos x$.
cos x.
4
Find the derivative of $y = (x^2 + 1)\cos x$ using the product rule.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: $\frac{dy}{dx} = (x^2 + 1)\frac{d}{dx}(\cos x) + \cos x\frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 1) = -(x^2 + 1)\sin x + 2x\cos x$.
-(x^2 + 1)sin x + 2x cos x.
5
Find the derivative of $y = \frac{x + 1}{x - 1}$.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Quotient rule: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(x-1)(1) - (x+1)(1)}{(x-1)^2} = \frac{x - 1 - x - 1}{(x-1)^2} = \frac{-2}{(x-1)^2}$.
