Can someone please use the LIMIT Definition of the Derivative to find the derivative of f(a). f(a)=a^2+a.
THIS IS URGENT. I NEED THIS IS 1/2 HOUR OR less.
Thank you

its a bit late but the answer:
2a + 1
After making up the following, I realized that your variable was a, not x.
F(x) = x^2 + x
F(x + dx) = (x + dx)^2 + (x + dx)
dF = F(x + dx) - F(x)
dF = (x^2 +2 *x *dx + dx^2 + x + dx) - (x^2 + x)
dF = 2 * x * dx + dx^2 + dx
dF / dx = (2 * x * dx + dx + dx^2) / dx
dF / dx = 2 * x + 1 + dx
dF / dx = Limit(2 * x + 1 + dx) as dx approaches zero
dF / dx = 2 * x + 1
