Find the derivative of the following function at the indicated point: `2cosx"\ "a t"\ "x="\ "pi/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have given the function `2cosx` ,
Then `f(x)=2cosx`
Now by derivative formula,
`f'(a)=lim(h->0)(f(a+h)-f(a))/h`
`f'(a)=lim(h->0)(2cos(a+h)-2cos(a))/h`
At `x=pi/2`
`f'((pi)/2)=lim(h->0)(2cos((pi)/2+h)-2cos((pi)/2))/h`
`f'((pi)/2)=lim(h->0)(-2sinh)/h`
