Best answer

(i) x3 - 16

Let y = x3 – 16

Again, let y + δy = (x + δx)3 – 16

⇒ δy = (x + δx)3 – 16 – y

⇒ δy = (x + δx)3 – 16 – x3 + 16

⇒ δy = (x + δx)3 – x3

(ii) (x - 1)(x - 2)

Let y = (x – 1) (x – 2) = x2 – 3x + 2

Again, let y + δy = (x + δx)2 – 3(x + δx) + 2

⇒ δy = (x + δx)2 – 3(x + δx) + 2 – x2 + 3x – 2

(iii) 1/x2

(iv) (x + 1)/(x - 1)
