f%28x%29=4%2Fx


f%28x%2Bh%29=4%2F%28x%2Bh%29


f%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29=4%2F%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29


f%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29=4%2F%28x%2Bh%29-4%2Fx


%28f%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29%29%2Fh=%284%2F%28x%2Bh%29-4%2Fx%29%2Fh


The difference quotient is %28f%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29%29%2Fh=%284%2F%28x%2Bh%29-4%2Fx%29%2Fh
