Part 1: The derivative at a specific point Use the definition of the derivative to compute the derivative of $f(x) = 1 - 6x^2$ at the specific point $x = 2$. 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). $f'(2) = \lim_{h \to 0} \left( \frac{f(2 + h) - f(2)}{h} \right) = \lim_{h \to 0} \left( \boxed{} \right)$ $\boxed{}$ Part 2: The derivative function Part 3: The tangent line

Part 1: The derivative at a specific point Use the definition of the derivative to compute the derivative of f(x) = 5/x at the specific point x = 2. 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'(2) = lim_{h -> 0} ((f(2+h)-f(2))/h) Part 2: The derivative function Use the definition of the derivative to compute the derivative of the function f(x) = 5/x at an arbitrary point x. 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'(x) = lim_{h -> 0} ((f(x+h)-f(x))/h) Part 3: The tangent line

Use the definition of the derivative to compute the derivative of f(x) = 8/x at the specific point x = 3. Evaluate the limit by using algebra to simplify the difference quotient (in the first answer box) and then evaluating the limit (in the second answer box). f'(3) = lim h->0 (f(3+h) - f(3))/h = lim h->0 (__)= ___.

Use the definition of the derivative to compute the derivative of f(x) = 1/− 5x^2 at the specific point x = 2. Evaluate the limit by using algebra to simplify the difference quotient (in the first answer box) and then evaluating the limit (in the second answer box): f'(2) = lim h->0 (f(2 + h) - f(2) / h) = lim h->0
