Explanation Given: The function, f ( x ) = 5 − 2 x . Concept Used: Difference quotient of a function f ( x ) is given by, f ( x + h ) − f ( x ) h . Calculation: Consider the function, f ( x ) = 5 − 2 x In order to find the difference quotient of the function, first we find the value of f ( x + h ) . Then we put the values of f ( x ) and f ( x + h ) in the difference quotient formula and simplify further. To find the value of f ( x + h ) , replace x by ( x + h ) in the given function as shown below f ( x + h
