1st step and 3rd step is my only complaint

myininaya (myininaya):

1st step the definition is wrote out wrong 3rd step -(x^2-3x)=-x^2+3x

What is wrong with the first step? Ohh, that was a typo when typing onto my computer >< but I wrote it correctly on paper. Is A correct?

myininaya (myininaya):

A is correct but definition of derivative is \[\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \]

Oops, another typo! Can you help me with B?
