What is the \(\displaystyle f'(a)\) ?
\(\displaystyle f(x) = 2x^{2} - 5x + 4\)
Do we take the derivative?
\(\displaystyle f'(x) = 4x - 5\) ??
\(\displaystyle f'(1) = 4(1) - 5\)
\(\displaystyle f'(2) = 4(2) - 5\)
\(\displaystyle f'(3) = 4(3) - 5\)
\(\displaystyle f'(a) = 4(a) - 5\) <== answer
Thanks, the online homework gave the same answer.
