The goal of this problem is to break down this definition
into pieces and understand their geometric meaning.
Consider the diagram below (similar to the first diagram
on page 1 of the notes):
P(x, f(x))
X
y = f(x)
Q(x+ h, f(x + h))
Horizontal distance (run)
Vertical distance (rise)
x + h
Match each of the following mathematical expressions
with the correct description. Each description should be
used once.
