Question

Let
f(x) = sqrt of x. Compute the difference quotient for f(x) at
a = 7 with h = 4

Answer 1

\[f(x) = \sqrt x,\]

what is relation of a ,h to the f(x) ?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

Answer 2

Idk, a and h are not x are they?

Answer 3

could you clarify what they mean by difference quotient?

Answer 4

i have no idea, its a homework problem, I am just going to do it in the morning thanks for the help you guys :)

Answer 5

nevermind, i'll assume its talking about finding slope or intro to derivatives

--> [f(a+h) -f(a)]/h
a=7, h=4
--> (f(11) -f(7)]/4
