Please help me answer this question, any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

f(x + h) = 2 * (x + h)^2 + 3 * (x + h) + 5 = 2 * (x^2 + 2hx + h^2) + 3x + 3h + 5 = 2x^2 + 4hx + 2h^2 + 3x + 3h + 5
f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x + 5
f(x + h) - f(x) =>
2x^2 + 4hx + 2h^2 + 3x + 3h + 5 - 2x^2 - 3x - 5 =>
4hx + 2h^2 + 3h
Divide by h
4x + 2h + 3
Let h go to 0
4x + 3
x = 0
4 * 0 + 3 =>
0 + 3 =>
3
Congratulations! You just took a step into the cesspool known as Calculus!

By definition of derivative,
lim h->0 (f(h)-f(0))/h = f'(0) = 3
lim h->0 (f(h)-f(0))/h = f'(0) = 3
