2x^2+3x-2, a=0 How do I find the derivative?

You can use the definition:

\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h

Then if

f(x) = 2x^2+3x-2

we have

f(x+h) = 2(x+h)^2+3(x+h) - 2 = 2x^2 + 4xh+2h^2+3x+3h-2

Then the derivative is

\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{(2x^2+4xh+2h^2+3x+3h-2)-(2x^2+3x-2)}h \\\\ f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{4xh+2h^2+3h}h \\\\ f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}(4x+2h+3) = \boxed{4x+3}

I'm guessing the second part of the question asks you to find the tangent line to <em>f(x)</em> at the point <em>a</em> = 0. The slope of the tangent line to this point is

f'(0) = 4(0) + 3 = 3

and when <em>a</em> = 0, we have <em>f(a)</em> = <em>f</em> (0) = -2, so the graph of <em>f(x)</em> passes through the point (0, -2).

Use the point-slope formula to get the equation of the tangent line:

<em>y</em> - (-2) = 3 (<em>x</em> - 0)

<em>y</em> + 2 = 3<em>x</em>

<em>y</em> = 3<em>x</em> - 2
