You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = 5x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "1) f(x+h) = 5x +5h - 4
\n" ); document.write( "2) f(x) = 5x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "3) 5x +5h -4 -5x +4 = 5h
\n" ); document.write( "4) 5h / h = 5
\n" ); document.write( "therefore the first derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = 5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
