2. Intro to Derivatives

Find the derivative of the function $f(x)=4x^2-9x$.

Use the definition of a derivative, to find the derivative of the function $g(x)=x^3$ at $x=-1$.

Derivatives using tables Let $h\left(x\right)=f\left(g\right(x\left)\right)$ and $p\left(x\right)=g\left(f\right(x\left)\right)$. Use the table to compute the following derivatives.
