Consider the function f(x) :
822 + 7
Recall that the definition of the derivative given in the book is:
f(x + h) – f(æ)
lim
h-0
h
(A) In terms of æ and h only, find a simplified expression for only the numerator of this expression,
f(x + h) – f(x).
f(x + h) – f(x) =
f(x + h) – f(x)
(B) Now find a simplified expression for the expression
h
f(æ + h) – f(x)
h
