Whats the text meant to say by comparison with |x-2| slower faster thing? [closed]
I'm really not sure what the question is. It seems possible that the question is what does it mean to say one function tends to zero faster than another.
Def. Suppose $\lim_{x\to2}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2}g(x)=0$. We say $f\to0$ "faster than" $g$ as $x\to2$ if $\lim_{x\to2}f(x)/g(x)=0$.
So if $f(x)\to0$ faster than $x-2$ as $x\to2$ then the definition of the derivative says exactly that $f'(2)=0$.
