Evaluate the difference quotient for the given function. Simplify your answer.

f(x) = 1+2x− x^2, (f(4+h)-f(4))/h

1 answer

what's the trouble, forgot your Algebra I already?

f(4+h) = 1+2(4+h)-(4+h)^2 = -7-6h-h^2
f(4) = 1+2(4)-4^2 = -7

f(4+h)-f(4) = -6h-h^2

Now divide all that by h and you have

-6-h
