The document provides solutions to finding derivatives using the limit definition of the derivative (Definition 2.1) for 6 different functions: 1) y=√3x 2) S=√t-2 3) y=√4x+3 4) y=2x/(x+1) 5) y=3/√2x+1 6) y=5x^2/(4x-1) For each function, it takes the limit as Δx or Δt approaches 0 of the change in y or S over the change in x or t.
