Question
Find f'(a).
f(t)
Since f(t) =
=
Step 1
To find f'(a), we will use the formula
f(t) = f(a)
7t + 15
t + 6
7t + 15
t + 6
f'(a) = = lim
t-a t-a
7t + 15
t + 6
we have
f'(a) = lim
t-a
7a + 15
a +6
Putting the fractions in the numerator over a common denominator and simplifying, we have
(7t+15) a +6
=
=
7t + 15
t + 6
