CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM:
What is this?:
f%28x+%2B+h%29-+f%28x%29
a. The difference quotient
b. The denominator of the difference quotient
c. The numerator of the difference quotient
d. Its just an algebraic expression 


The difference quotient is 



%28f%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29%29%2Fh



So f%28x+%2B+h%29-+f%28x%29 is just its numerator,



so the answer is c
