Question 1006159: In College Algebra we begin to work with and simplify the difference quotient, which is given by the formula . f(x+h)-f(x)/h Find the difference quotient for the following function by completing the following steps:

(𝑥)=5𝑥−4

1. Find f(x + h) = ____f(x+h)-4+5x+5h-4______________________



2. Find f(x) = ___5x-4__________________________



3. Find f(x+h) – f(x) = ____difference is 5x+5h+4-(5x-4)=5h__________________



4. Find = ___The quotient is 5h/h=5___________________ this is the derivative of the function, which comes later.
