Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information. 

We have been given a function:

f(x)=x3+2

We have to find f' using the definition of the derivative.

02

Step 2. Find the derivative 

Derivative of the function can be found as :

limh→0 f(x+h)−f(x)h=limh→0 (x+h)2+2−x3+2h=limh→0 x3+3x2h+3xh2+h3+2−x3−2h=limh→0 h3x2+3xh+h2h=limh→0 3x2+3xh+h2=3x2
