You do not have to keep reposting. It was noticed the first time. Allow folks time to get around.

a: looks good.

b: The difference quotient of g(x) is the definition of a derivative.





Simplify and take the limit, and it should give the derivative of



Apply the same thing to f(x) to find its DQ.
