If f ( x ) has a derivative at x = a , then l i m x → a x f a - a f x x - a is equal to
Options
- Af a - a f ′ a
- Ba f a - f ′ a
- Cf a + f ′ a
- Da f a + f ′ a
Correct answer
A. f a - a f ′ a
Step-by-step solution
l i m x → a x f a - a f x x - a Add and subtract a f ( a ) = lim x → a x f a - a f a + a f a - a f x x - a = l i m x → a f a x - a - a f x - f a x - a Separate and solve = lim x → a f a x - a x - a - lim x → a a f x - f a x - a As f ' ( a ) = lim x → a f ( x ) - f ( a ) x - a (derivative of f ( x ) at x = a exist) = f a - a f ′ a
