Evaluate the limit by using algebra to simplify the difference quotient (in first answer box) and then evaluating the limit (in the second answer box). $f'(3) = \lim_{h \to 0} \left( \frac{f(3+h) - f(3)}{h} \right) = \lim_{h \to 0} \left( \boxed{} \right) = \boxed{}$

Step 1
Step 1: Simplify the difference quotient The difference quotient is given by: f'(3) = lim(h->0) [f(3+h) - f(3)] / h Since f(3+h) = f(3) and f'(3) = 1, we can simplify the difference quotient as follows: f'(3) = lim(h->0) [f(3) - f(3)] / h Show more…
