X-3 2x+1 Let f(x)=- For this problem, use the following definition of the derivative, f'(a)= lim a. Set up the difference quotient (do not simplify), lim x→a f(x)-f(a). x→a x-a b. The numerator of the difference quotient when simplified into a single fraction becomes d. Taking the limit, we have that f'(a) = c. Before taking the limit, and after simplifying, the difference quotient expression becomes lim x → a
