Evaluate the difference quotient for the given function.

OpenStudy (gorv):

whatzz the comment

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

so the problem looks like, \[f(x) = 4 +3x - x^2, \frac{ f(3+h)-f(3) }{ h}\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

f(3)=4+3*3-3^9=4+9-9=4 f(3)=4 f(3+h)=4+3*(3+h)-(3+h)^2 =4+9+3h-(3^2+h^2+2*3*h) =4=9+3h-9-h^2-6h =4+9-9+3h-6h-h^2=4-3h-h^2

OpenStudy (gorv):

put value of f(3)and f(3+h) there

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 4-3h-h^2-4 }{ h }=\frac{ -3h-h^2 }{ h }=\frac{ h*(-3-h)}{h}=-3-h\]
