f(x)= 2x^2+x find f(x+h)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Finding the derivative using the definition?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I ended up with 3x^2+3h^2+4xh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Are you just plugging it in or are you using \(\large \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x-h)-f(x)}{h}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty much but the x-h should be x+h

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Oh, right sorry. So using the limit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

If it's the definition, then there aren't suppose to be any left over h's.
