Consider the function f(x)=sin(2x). If P is the point (x,f(x)) and Q is the point (x+h,f(x+h)), h=0 . What is gradient of the secant PQ in terms of x and h?
f′(x)=h→0limhf(x+h)−f(x).
f′(x)=h→0limhsin(2x+2h)−sin(2x).
For f(x)=ex(px2+qx+r), the curve y=f(x) is such that the tangents at x=0 and x=1 are parallel to the x-axis. The point with coordinates (0,1) is on the curve. Find p,q and r.
For f:[1,3]→R,f(x)=x2+kx+4, find the value(s) of k such that the absolute maximum of the function occurs when x=1.
There can be many absolute maximums.
We know that f(1)≥(3).

Let f be a one-to-one differentiable function such that f(3)=7,f(7)=8,f′(3)=2 and f′(7)=3. The function g is differentiable and g(x)=f−1(x) for all x. Find g′(7).
We know that g(f(x))=x
Take derivative of both sides g′(f(x))f′(x)=1
Rearrange f′(x)=g′(f(x))1
