The correct Answer is:
To differentiate the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{2x - 3} \) using the First Principle of Differentiation, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the function We start by defining the function: \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{2x - 3} \] ### Step 2: Write the expression for \( f(x+h) \) Next, we need to find \( f(x+h) \): \[ f(x+h) = \frac{1}{2(x+h) - 3} = \frac{1}{2x + 2h - 3} \] ### Step 3: Apply the First Principle of Differentiation The First Principle of Differentiation states that: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} \] Substituting \( f(x+h) \) and \( f(x) \) into this formula gives: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{1}{2x + 2h - 3} - \frac{1}{2x - 3}}{h} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression To simplify the expression, we need a common denominator for the fractions in the numerator: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(2x - 3) - (2x + 2h - 3)}{h(2x + 2h - 3)(2x - 3)} \] This simplifies to: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(2x - 3) - (2x + 2h - 3)}{h(2x + 2h - 3)(2x - 3)} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-2h}{h(2x + 2h - 3)(2x - 3)} \] ### Step 5: Cancel \( h \) from the numerator and denominator We can cancel \( h \) from the numerator and denominator: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-2}{(2x + 2h - 3)(2x - 3)} \] ### Step 6: Evaluate the limit as \( h \to 0 \) Now, we can substitute \( h = 0 \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{-2}{(2x - 3)(2x - 3)} = \frac{-2}{(2x - 3)^2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the derivative of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{2x - 3} \) is: \[ f'(x) = \frac{-2}{(2x - 3)^2} \]
