You can  put this solution on YOUR website! How do I solve Q(t)=x^2-5x+1. Find and simplify [Q(7+h)-Q(7)]/h 
--------------------------------------------- 
Q(7+h) = (7+h)^2 -5(7+h) + 1 
Q(7+h) = 49 + 14h + h^2 - 35 - 5h + 1 
Q(7+h) = h^2 + 9h + 15 
-------------------------- 
Q(7) = 49-35+1 = 15 
----- 
Q(7+h)-Q(7) = h^2+9h 
------------ 
Finally: [Q(7+h)-Q(7)]/h = h +9
