Here's how to find the derivative of F(x)=x2−xF(x) = x^2 - x using the first principle.

  1. State the definition of the derivative using the first principle.

    The derivative F′(x)F'(x) is defined as:

    F′(x)=lim⁡h→0F(x+h)−F(x)hF'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{F(x+h) - F(x)}{h}
  2. Substitute F(x+h)F(x+h) and F(x)F(x) into the definition and simplify the numerator.

    Given F(x)=x2−xF(x) = x^2 - x, we find F(x+h)=(x+h)2−(x+h)F(x+h) = (x+h)^2 - (x+h).

    F′(x)=lim⁡h→0((x+h)2−(x+h))−(x2−x)hF'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{((x+h)^2 - (x+h)) - (x^2 - x)}{h}

    Expand (x+h)2(x+h)^2:

    F′(x)=lim⁡h→0(x2+2xh+h2−x−h)−(x2−x)hF'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - x - h) - (x^2 - x)}{h}

    Distribute the negative sign and combine like terms in the numerator:

    F′(x)=lim⁡h→0x2+2xh+h2−x−h−x2+xhF'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - x - h - x^2 + x}{h} F′(x)=lim⁡h→02xh+h2−hhF'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2xh + h^2 - h}{h}
  3. Factor out hh from the numerator and cancel it with the denominator.

    F′(x)=lim⁡h→0h(2x+h−1)hF'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h(2x + h - 1)}{h}

    Since h→0h \to 0 but h≠0h \neq 0, we can cancel hh:

    F′(x)=lim⁡h→0(2x+h−1)F'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} (2x + h - 1)
  4. Evaluate the limit by substituting h=0h=0.

    F′(x)=2x+0−1F'(x) = 2x + 0 - 1 F′(x)=2x−1F'(x) = \boxed{2x - 1}
