Homework Statement
Use the definition of the derivative to show f is differentiable at x = 2.
f(x) = 1 + cos(pix/2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I started getting the solution but got stuck at one part.
f`(x) = lim h->0 | [ f(x+h) - f(x) ] / (h)
= lim h->0 | [f(2+h) - f(2) ] / (h)
= lim h -> 0 | [1 + cos(pi(2+h)/2) - 0 ] / (h)
= lim h -> 0 | [1 + cos(2pi+hpi)/2 ] / (h)
I know I am supposed to get the h's to cancel out but I am having trouble getting there
