Find out the derivtive of (sin x)/x using the first principle of derivative.

Question

Badiuddin askIITians.ismu Expert · Answer

Dear Abhingya

let f(x) = (sinx)/x

so f(x+h) =(sin (x+h))/(x+h)

fo f'(x) = Lt _h→0{f(x+h) -f(x)} /h

= Lt _h→0{(sin (x+h))/(x+h ) - (sinx)/x } /h

=Lt _h→0{xsin (x+h) - (x+h)sinx } /hx(x+h)

=Lt _h→0{x(sin (x+h) - sinx } /hx(x+h) - Lt _h→0hsinx /hx(x+h)

use sinC -sinD formula

=Lt _h→0{2(cos (x+h/2) sin(h/2) } /h(x+h) - Lt _h→0hsinx /hx(x+h)

now open series for sin(h/2) and apply limit

f'(x) = cos(x) /x - sin(x) /x²

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

let f(x) = (sinx)/x
so f(x+h) =(sin (x+h))/(x+h)
fo f'(x) = Lt h→0 {f(x+h) -f(x)} /h
= Lt h→0 {(sin (x+h))/(x+h) -(sinx)/x } /h
=Lt h→0 {xsin (x+h) -(x+h)sinx } /hx(x+h)
=Lt h→0 {x(sin (x+h)- sinx } /hx(x+h) - Lt h→0hsinx /hx(x+h)
use sinC -sinD formula
=Lt h→0 {2(cos (x+h/2) sin(h/2) } /h(x+h) - Lt h→0hsinx /hx(x+h)
now open series for sin(h/2) and apply limit
f'(x) = cos(x) /x - sin(x) /x2
