![Example 1: Find the derivative of f(x)
2x2 using definition of the derivative
Solution:
Step 1: Evaluate f at x + h.
f(x + h)
2(x + h)?= 2x² + 4xh + 2h²
Step 2: Subtract f (x) from f(x + h).
f(x +h) – f(x)
= 2x2 + 4xh + 2h2 – (2x2) = 4xh + 2h2
Step 3: Divide the difference of f (x + h) and f(x) by h.
4xh + 2h2
2h(2x + h)
= 2(2x + h)

h
h
Step 4: Take the limit of the quotient as h approaches 0.
f'(x)= lim 2(2x + h) = 2(2x + 0) = 4x

h-0
Therefore, f'(x) = 4x.
Because the derivative of a function is
also the slope, then it can also be viewed
as a rate of change.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd7292384-6341-4435-ab7a-78b87b4dfb47%2F690489f9-a63e-40c7-b0ff-273f2143a259%2Fcgbrwqf_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
