Solution :-

Let f(x) = (ax + b)n. Accordingly,

f(x + h) = {a(x + h) + b}n = (ax + ah + b)n By first principle,

\( f'(x)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0}\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \)

\( \lim\limits_{h \to 0}\dfrac{(ax+ah+b)-(ax+b)^n}{h} \)

(using binomial theorem)

(Terms containing higher degrees of h)

\( (ax+b)^n[\dfrac{na}{(ax+b)}+0]\)

\( na\dfrac{(ax+b)^n}{ax+b}\)

\(na(ax+b)^{n-1}\)
