Question:
For each function in Problems, approximate f' (a) in the following ways.
(a) Use f (a + h) - f (a)/h with h = 0.0001.
(b) Graph the function on a graphing calculator. Then zoom in near the point until the graph appears straight, pick two points, and find the slope of the line you see.
f' (4) for f (x) = (2x - 1)3
