f(x) = -1 + x + x^2/4 = 0.25·x^2 + x - 1
f(x + h) - f(x) = (0.25·(x + h)^2 + (x + h) - 1) - (0.25·x^2 + x - 1)
= (0.25·x^2 + 0.5·h·x + 0.25·h^2 + x + h - 1) - (0.25·x^2 + x - 1)
= 0.5·h·x + 0.25·h^2 + h
(f(x + h) - f(x))/h = (0.5·h·x + 0.25·h^2 + h)/h = 0.5·x + 0.25·h + 1
Für h gegen 0 geht der Term gegen 0.5·x + 1.
