Derivative of a Function at a Point

The derivative of the function f(x) at x = a is the value of the limit, if it exists at this point when the variable, h, tends to zero.

Examples

Find the derivative of the function f (x) = 3x² at x = 2.

Find the derivative of the function f(x) = x² + 4x − 5 at x = 1.
