question 202

Multiple Choice

Because of their connection with secant lines, tangents, and instantaneous rates, limits of the form $\lim _ { h \rightarrow 0 } \frac { f ( x + h ) - f ( x ) } { h }$ occur frequently in calculus. Evaluate this limit for the given value of $x$ and function $f$ .
- $( x ) = 4 \sqrt { x } , x = 4$

• A) 8
• B) Does not exist
• C) 4
• D) 1
