if apply delta method, could i find derivative

please show this on expanded problem

Solution

y=3x^2-2x

We\'ll apply delta method to determine the instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x.

dy/dx = lim [f(x + delta x) - f(x)]/delta x, delta x->0

We also can write:

dy/dx = lim [f(x + h) - f(x)]/h, h->0

We\'ll calculate f(x+h) = 3(x+h)^2 - 2(x+h)

We\'ll raise to square x + h:

f(x+h) = 3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 - 2x - 2h

dy/dx = lim (3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 - 2x - 2h - 3x^2 + 2x)/h

We\'ll eliminate like terms:

dy/dx = lim (6xh + 3h^2 - 2h)/h

lim (6xh + 3h^2 - 2h)/h = lim (6x + 3h - 2)

We\'ll substitute h by 0:

lim (6x + 3h - 2) = 6x - 2

dy/dx = 6x - 2

Substituting x by any value, we can compute the slope of the tangent to the graph of the function, in the chosen value for x.
