Question

Let f(x) = 1/x + 3 Use the limit definition of the derivative to find To avoid calculating four separate limits: I suggest that you evaluate the derivative at the point when x = a. Once you have the derivative, you can just plug in those four values for "a" to get the answers. Box 1: Enter your answer as a number (like 5: -3, 2.2) or as a calculation (like 5/3, 2^3, 5+4) Enter DNE for Does Not Exist, oo for Infinity Box 2: Enter your answer as a number (like 5, -3: 2.2) or as a calculation (like 5/3, 2A3: 5+4) Enter DNE for Does Not Exist, oo for Infinity Box 3: Enter your answer as a number (like 5, -3: 2.2) or as a calculation (like 5/3, 2A3: 5+4) Enter DNE for Does Not Exist, oo for Infinity Box 4: Enter your answer as a number (like 5, -3: 2.2) or as a calculation (Tike 5/3, 2A3: 5+4) Enter DNE for Does Not Exist, oo for Infinity
