Find the Derivative of sin5x [by First Principle]

The derivative of sin5x is equal to 5cos5x.  In this post, we will find the derivative of sin5x by the first principle, that is, by the limit definition of derivatives. By the first principle of derivatives, we know that the derivative of a function f(x) is given by the following limit: $\dfrac{d}{dx}(f(x))$$=\lim\limits_{h\to 0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$ …(I) Derivative … Read more

[Solved] What is the Derivative of e^1/x?

The derivative of e1/x is $-\frac{1}{x^2} e^{1/x}$. So if y=e1/x, then dy/dx = -1/x2 e1/x. In this post, we will learn how to differentiate e to the power 1/x. Derivative of e1/x Question: What is the derivative of e raised to 1/x? Answer: The derivative of e raised to 1/x is equal to $-1/x^2 e^{1/x}$. … Read more

[Solved] What is the Derivative of pi (π)?

The derivative of pi is zero. Note that pi is denoted by $\pi$. In this post, we will learn how to find the derivative of $\pi$. Derivative of pi Formula The formula for the derivative of $\pi$ is $0$. This formula can be written as follows: $\dfrac{d}{dx}(\pi)=0$ or $(\pi)’=0$. Here, the prime $’$ denotes the … Read more

Derivative of tan3x [ by First Principle] | tan3x Derivative

The derivative of tan3x is equal to 3sec2 3x. In this post, we will find the derivative of tan3x by the first principle i.e., by the limit definition of derivatives. The first principle of derivatives says that if f(x) is a differentiable function of x, then its derivative is given by the limit below: $\dfrac{d}{dx}(f(x))$$=\lim\limits_{h\to … Read more
