Normally I'd just google what to do but I couldn't find anything. Here are the questions with everything given. If someone could just point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

Take 2 derivatives and evaluate. 2. Compute $\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$ using the formula given and apply the property given to take this limit as $h \to 0$. 3. Suppose I told you that this expression was equal to $\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a+h) - f(a)}{h}$ for some unknown function and unknown value of $a$. Can you find an $f$ and an $a$ which make this true? This answer won't be unique and in fact there are infinitely many functions which work. But all of them have the same derivative and hence the same limit. Thanks from Country Boy and redArch
