Part 1 Difference Quotient If h 0 then the difference quotient can be simplified into the form That is f x f x h f x h Note It s possible for one or more of these coefficients to be 0 1 x 4 1 x 4 A Bh 1 x 4 A Bh where the coefficients A and B can be functions of a or just constant terms Find these coefficients A B Part 2 Derivative Use the simplified expression from Part 1 to then calculate the derivative f x f x lim h 0 f x h f x h
