Help. I need help with these questions ( see image).
Please show workings.

  4)  6x

  5)  2x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work both these problems at once by finding an applicable rule.

where O(h²) is the series of terms involving h² and higher powers. When divided by h, each term has h as a multiplier, so the series sums to zero when h approaches zero. Of course, if n < 2, there are no O(h²) terms in the expansion, so that can be ignored.

This can be referred to as the power rule.

Note that for the quadratic f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c, the limit of the sum is the sum of the limits, so this applies to the terms individually:

  lim[h→0](f(x+h)-f(x))/h = 2ax +b

4. The gradient of 3x^2 is 3(2)x^(2-1) = 6x.

5. The gradient of x^2 +3x +1 is 2x +3.

If you need to "show work" for these problems individually, use the appropriate values for 'a' and 'n' in the above derivation of the power rule.
