Get started for freeTaking the limit: We have seen that if f is a smooth function, then This approximation should get better as h gets closer to zero. In fact, in the next section we will define the derivative in terms of such a limit.
.
Use the limit just defined to calculate the exact slope of the tangent line toat
Suppose f is ant cubic polynomial function prove that coefficients of f a, b, c, d can be expressed in terms of values of f(x) and its derivatives at the point x=2
Differentiation review: Without using the chain rule find the derivative of each of the function f that follows some algebra may be required before differentiating
Use (a) the definition of the derivative and then
(b) the definition of the derivative to find for each function f and value in Exercises 23–38.

Instead of choosing small values of h, we could have chosen values of z close to c. What limit involving z instead of h is equivalent to the one involving h?
