What is the formula used for finding derivatives using the first principle?

• f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1

• f'(x) = lim (h -> 0) [(f(x+h) - f(x))/h]

• f(x) = 2x + 3

• f'(x) = x^3 - 3x + 2

What is the first step after writing the formula for derivatives?

• Solve the equation

• Substitute the given values into the formula

• Graph the function

• Differentiate directly

What value is substituted for 'f' in the formula?

• 3

• x

• h

• 2

What operation is performed after substituting values into the formula?

• Multiplication of terms

• Integration

• Division by zero

• Addition of constants

What is the result of multiplying the expression by itself?

• x^2 + 4xh + h^2

• x^2 + xh + h^2

• x^2 + 2xh + h^2

• x^2 - 2xh + h^2

What is the purpose of the minus sign in the expression?

• To ensure correct subtraction of terms

• To multiply terms

• To divide terms

• To add complexity

What is the role of the power 2 in the expression?

• To square the entire function

• To add 2 to the function

• To multiply by 2

• To divide by 2

What is the first step in simplifying the expression?

• Subtract constants
