Using the definition calculate the  derivative at point x=2  f(x)=2x^3

$${Using}\:{the}\:{definition}\:{calculate}\:{the} \\ $$$${derivative}\:{at}\:{point}\:{x}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

lim_(x→2) ((f(x)−f(2))/(x−2))=lim_(x→2) ((2x^3 −16)/(x−2))=  lim_(x→2) ((2(x−2)(x^2 +2x+4))/(x−2))=lim_(x→2) 2(x^2 +2x+4)=  2(4+4+4)=24

$${lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{2}} \frac{{f}\left({x}\right)−{f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{x}−\mathrm{2}}={lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{2}} \frac{\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{16}}{{x}−\mathrm{2}}= \\ $$$${lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{2}} \frac{\mathrm{2}\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{4}\right)}{{x}−\mathrm{2}}={lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{2}\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{4}\right)= \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{24} \\ $$

f^′ (x) = 6x^2  ⇒ f^′ (2) = 24

$${f}\:^{'} \left({x}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{6}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\Rightarrow\:{f}\:^{'} \left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{24} \\ $$
