the answer should be 3, but I don't know how to get that, help!
-
ƒ(a+0) / 2(0) = ƒ(a) / 0 = 0/0, an indeterminate form
Hence, by L' Hopital's Rule,
.. lim (h→0) [ ƒ(a+h) ] / (2h)
= lim (h→0) d/dh[ ƒ(a+h) ] / d/dh( 2h )
= lim (h→0) [ ƒ'(a+h) ] / 2(1)
= ƒ'(a+0) / 2
= ƒ'(a) / 2
= 6/2
= 3 ........................................… Ans.
