SOLUTION: I need help finding the difference quotient for the following function. F(x)=5x-4 Find for these: 1) f(x+h)= 2) f(x)= 3)f(x+h)-f(x)= 4)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h=

Question 1086598: I need help finding the difference quotient for the following function.
F(x)=5x-4
Find for these:
1) f(x+h)=
2) f(x)=
3)f(x+h)-f(x)=
4)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h=

You need to just make the appropriate substitutions and then simplify the difference quotient expression.

--
NOT both f and F as 5x-4. Choose either of them and stick to it.

, your given function

, using as the function's input

h, the increment to have been made to x

DO THE SUBSTITUTIONS INTO DIFFERENCE QUOTIENT:

AND SIMPLIFY THIS EXPRESSION!
