If f(x)= 25-x^2 , then what is Lim_ x arrow 1 (f(x)-f(1))/(x-1)...
If , then what is equal to ?
Options
- A1/5
- B1/24
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
\therefore\frac{0}{0}\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{\mathrmf^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})-0}{1}=\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 1}\left(\sqrt{25-\mathrm{x}^2}\right)^{\prime}\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{25-x^2}}(-2 x)=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{25-(1)^2}} \times(-2)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{24}}$
