Find the derivative of $48x$ using the definition. Apply the definition of the derivative: $\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$. The function $f(x)$ is the function we want to differentiate, which is $48x$. Substituting $f(x+h)$ and $f(x)$ on the limit, we get

Apply the definition of the derivative: \displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}. The function f(x) is the function we want to differentiate, which is 48x. Substituting f(x+h) and f(x) on the limit, we get. Multiply the single term 48 by each term of the polynomial \left(x+h\right). Simplifying. Simplify the fraction \frac{48h}{h} by h.
