Evaluating for what value of x?

, given function.

Difference Quotient in general, , and examine this quotient as h tends toward 0.

YOUR difference quotient should be found to be .

I left-out the steps.
You need to substitute the needed expression, , but simplify it before putting it into its role in the difference quotient formula.
