Hi, I've just started calculus and I am very confused.

How do you answer question b? It's attached in the second screenshot.

Question 6a is a(6+h) and my working out for question 6b is also attached but it isn't right and I think I've just connected random numbers in random formulas.

Thanks,

 

State the average rate of change of the function f(x) = ax² (a is a constant) in the interval
[3,3 + h].
Hence, state the value of a if the instantaneous rate of change is 18.
