States or implies the formula for differentiation from first principles.

f ( x) = 5 x

f ( x + h) − f ( x) h →0 h

f ʹ′( x) = lim

Correctly applies the formula to the specific formula and expands and simplifies the formula.

5 x + 3 x 2 h + 3xh 2 + h3 − 5 x 3

h 15 x h + 15 xh + 5h3 f ʹ′( x) = lim h →0 h h →0

Factorises the ‘h’ out of the numerator and then divides by h to simplify.

f ʹ′( x) = lim

(

h 15 x 2 + 15 xh + 5h 2

)

h

h →0

(

f ʹ′( x) = lim 15 x + 15 xh + 5h 2 h →0

States that as h → 0, 15x2 + 15xh + 5h2 → 15x2 o.e. so derivative = 15x2 *

A1* (4 marks)

NOTES: Use of δx also acceptable. Students must show a complete proof (without wrong working) to achieve all 4 marks. Not all steps need to be present, and additional steps are also acceptable.
