The Carriage Return is not the thing you want between the x and the 2.


What are you trying to express?
---------
f(x) = x
2 + 3x + 8.

Evaluate and fully simplify f(x + h) − f(x)
________________
h
----------


Figuring what you might really want took some time.
f(x)=x^2+3x+8
-
Evaluate (f(x+h)-f(x))/h
-

Evaluate


Form the parts of the Difference Quotient into place.
The start of that looks like this: .

Now the task to do is to simplify this Difference Quotient.
