Answer:
4x+2h
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of a continuous function,
f
(
x
)
, on a closed interval
[
a
,
b
]
is given by
f
(
b
)
−
f
(
a
)
b
−
a
So the average rate of change of the function
f
(
x
)
=
2

on
[
x
,

h
]
is:
A

=
f
(

h
)
−
f
(
x
)
(
x

h
)
−
(
x
)
=
f
(
x
+
h
)
−
f
(
x
)
h
...
.
.
[

Which is the required answer.
Additional Notes:
Note that this question is steered towards deriving the derivative
f
'
(
x
)
from first principles, as the definition of the derivative is:
f
'
(
x
)
=
lim
h
→
0
f
(
x
+
h
)
−
f
(
x
)
h
This is the function we had in [1], so as we take the limit as
h
→
0
we get the derivative
f
'
(
x
)
for any
x
, This:
f
'
(
x
)
=
lim
h
→
0
