Question 645565: Hi, I wanted to check my answer to this problem.
Use the limit definition to find the following derivatives.
1) f(x) = 3x^2
For this problem I got f'(x)=6x. Is this correct?
2) h(x) = x^3
This problem, I couldn't get. I think you have to multiply x^2+2xh+h^2(x+h). Is this right.

Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Note: Power rule: If f(x) =    ⇒     f '(x) =

1) f(x) = 3x^2  ⇒ f'(x)=6x, Yes!

2) h(x) = x^3   ⇒ h '(x) = 3x^2
