Formula for difference quotient edited for grouping.

There are two terms in the expression to which to find the difference quotient. The 2 is a separate term from the 3*sqrt(9x-7). They are NOT connected except by addition of the two separate terms.

To begin with the difference quotient,
%28%282%2B3sqrt%289%28x%2Bh%29-7%29%29-%282%2B3sqrt%289x-7%29%29%29%2Fh
