A function gg is defined only for x≥2x\ge 2. To approximate g′(2)g'(2) using nearby function values of gg, which of the following expressions is MOST appropriate? (Assume h>0h>0 is small.) a) g(2+h)−g(2−h)2h\dfrac{g(2+h)-g(2-h)}{2h} b) g(2+h)−g(2)h\dfrac{g(2+h)-g(2)}{h} c) g(2+h)−g(2)2h\dfrac{g(2+h)-g(2)}{2h} d) g(2+2h)−g(2+h)h\dfrac{g(2+2h)-g(2+h)}{h}
