![### Calculus Practice Problem: Derivatives Using Limits
Each of the following limits represents a derivative \( f'(a) \).
#### Problem Statement:
\[ (a) \lim_{{h \to 0}} \frac{{(4 + h)^3 - 64}}{h} \]
### Multiple Choice:
Choose the correct expression for \( f(x) \):
- \( \circ \) \( \frac{1}{x - 4} \)
- \( \circ \) \( 4 + x \)
- \( \bullet \) \( x^3 \)
- \( \circ \) \( \frac{x^3 - 64}{x - 4} \)
- \( \circ \) \( x^3 + x \)
### Follow-up Question:
Determine \( a \).
(Give your answer as a whole or exact number.)
\[ a = \boxed{4} \]](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/395d1936-baa8-49b0-8e5e-efc718888ade/c7ba0317-4728-4126-8855-523b5164907d/cyhl7kl_thumbnail.png)
