Question 1005612: In College Algebra we begin to work with and simplify the difference quotient, which is given by the formula . Find the difference quotient for the following function by completing the following steps:
(𝑥)=5𝑥−4
1. Find f(x + h) = __________________________
2. Find f(x) = _____________________________
3. Find f(x+h) – f(x) = ______________________
4. Find = ______________________
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x+h)=5(x+h)-4=5x+5h-4
f(x)=5x-4
difference is 5x+5h+4-(5x-4)
=5h
the quotient is 5h/h=5
This is the derivative of the function, which comes later.
