    to estimate the value of each derivative, look for tangent line on a curve at given point and find a slope
    here is good link to show you how to do it

    all correct just f'(6)=1

    it's more likely 1
    f'(h)=1 (if you draw a tangent, it will pass through points (6,0) and most likely through (9,3), so slope is(3-0)/(9-6)=3/3=1)

    I forgot that this is an odd number problem. The answers are in the back of the book for odd number problems.
