Question

if Q(x) = x2-5x+1 find Q(2+h) - Q(2) /h

Answer 1

didn't we just do this or am i mistaken?

Answer 2

i didn't understand the first one i changed 1 to 2

Answer 3

Sorry i'm confused :|

Answer 4

ok this time we do it with numbers
what is \(Q(2)\) ? we need that number

Answer 5

the Q(x) multiplied by 2?

Answer 6

no the function evaluated at \(x=2\)

Answer 7

\(Q(x)\) means "Q of \(x\)" not \(Q\times x\) similarly \(Q(2)\) means "Q of 2"
replace \(x\) by \(2\)
\[Q(x)=x^2-5x+1\]
\[Q(2)=2^2-5\times 2+1\]

Answer 8

ohhh i seee Thank You :D

Answer 9

you also need to find \(Q(2+h)\) which will have an \(h\) in it, whereas \(Q(2)\) is a number

Answer 10

did you find \(Q(2)\) ?

Answer 11

im having a hard time.. this is my first time :|

Answer 12

did you compute this \[Q(2)=2^2-5\times 2+1\]?
