Question
Answer the following questions correctly
Suppose that f is a function given as f(x) =
- 2x + 1.
Simplify the expression f(x + h).
f(r + h) =
f(r + h) – f(x)
Simplify the difference quotient,
f(r + h) f(x)
The derivative of the function at a is the limit of the difference quotient as h approaches zero.
f(x + h) – f(x)
f'(x) = lim
h>0
