I am trying to create this using LaTex. It comes from Mark Sparks Daily Lessons and Assessments. I have messing with it for an hour and wonder how I can clean my code up and if the code I have is efficient.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx} % Required for inserting images
\usepackage{tabularray}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
\title{Tables for LaTex Homework}
\author{Nicholas Bennett}
\date{May 2024}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}

    \begin{tblr}{|l|l|l|}
    \hline
        \SetCell[c=2]{c} For questions 5-9, use the function \(f(x)=\dfrac{x}{x+2}\) & \\
        \hline
        \SetCell[r=3]{l} Find \(f'(x)\) by finding \(\displaystyle\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\)  &   Find the slope of the tangent line drawn to the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=-2\) \\[2in]  \hline &  Find the slope of the tangent line drawn to the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=-1\) \\[2in] \hline    &    Find the equation of the tangent line drawn to the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=-1\) \\[2in] \hline
        \SetCell[c=2]{l} Find \(\displaystyle\lim_{x\to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}\), where \(a=-1\) & \\[2in]
            \hline
    \end{tblr}
\end{document}

Any help would be appreciated.
