derivative of x > a?

Woops, had a brain fart. The derivative of the function 4x - 3x^2 using the equation f(x) - f(a) / (x - a)

|dw:1350283827364:dw| dx is such a small element that the curve can be considered as a straight line,, long story cut short , you have to use this : f(x+dx) -f(x) / (x+dx - x) where, f(x) = 4x -3x^2 so we have 4(x+dx) - 3(x+dx)^2 - 4x + 3x^2 / (dx) => 4x + 4dx - 3x^2 - 3dx^2 - 6xdx -4x +3x^2/ dx =>4dx - 3dx^2 - 6xdx / dx =>4 - 3dx - 6x since dx is very small we have ,, as the final ans 4-6x hope i could explain well..
