Question

Let f(x) be the function \frac{1}{x+8}. Then the quotient
\frac{f(5+h)-f(5)}{h} can be simplified to \frac{-1}{ah+b} for:
a=
and
b=

Answer 1

\[\frac{1}{x+8}\]

Answer 2

\[\frac{f(5+h)-f(5)}{h} =\frac{-1}{ah+b}\]

Answer 3

you should get
\[\frac{-1}{(5+8)(5+h+8)}\]

Answer 4

\[\frac{-1}{13(13+h)}\]
\[\frac{-1}{169+13h}\] i think

Answer 5

thats correct

Answer 6

thanks
