You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If f(x) = x^2 +5, find f(a +h) -f(a)
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Do each term separately, then subtract:
\n" ); document.write( "f(a+h) = (a+h)^2+5 = a^2+2ah+h^2+5
\n" ); document.write( "f(a) = a^2+5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Now subtract to get:
\n" ); document.write( "=2ah+h^2
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
