    Not A Game, But Please Help

    Can someone please use the LIMIT Definition of the Derivative to find the derivative of f(a). f(a)=a^2+a.

    THIS IS URGENT. I NEED THIS IS 1/2 HOUR OR less.

    Thank you

    I know this should be in the Math's Forum, But honestly, I don't think anyone reads that on a frequent basis..

    The equation is amibguous.
    Whic is it :

    f(a) = (a ^ 2) + a
    or
    f(a) = a ^ (2 + a)


    Then you havent said for the limits, what the limit is approaching.
    If the limit is approaching 0, then both equations' limits would be 0. If the limit is infinity, then the first equation's limit is infinity, and I think the second one is undefined.

    If on the other hand you want us to just find the first derivitave of the 2 functions, then the first's derivitave would be 2a, and the second would be (2a) * ( a ^ a) ... afaik.
