Answer

$f(1) = 0$ $f'(1) = 5$

Work Step by Step

Using the formula: $f'(1) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h} =\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(1+h)}{h}-\frac{f(1)}{h} =\lim_{h \to 0} 5-\frac{f(1)}{h} $ The problem statement gives that $f(x)$ is differentiable at $1$. Thus, $f(1)$ must be $0$ and $f'(1)$ is therefore $5$.
