Derivatives of Polynomials - Solutions

1. 
   
   

   

   
   
2. 
   
   

   

   
   If desired, this could be simplified somewhat to
   
   
3. 
   
   

   

   
   This last form anticipates a ``change of variable'', and reflects the fact that the graph of h(x) is just a parabola with the vertex at x=3.
