According to the procedure box above, you obtain the derivative by evaluating
f'(x) | = | lim h0 |
|
Now, we have already calcuated the expression
h | = 6x + 4 + 3h |
in the last question. What we must now do is take the limit as h approaches 0. That is, we calculate what 6x + 4 + 3h is approaching as h gets smaller and smaller. But all that happens is that 3h also becomes smaller and smaller, so that the limit is
Enter this as 6*x + 4
