I need help getting the difference quotient for these 3 questions! please help!

Find the difference Quotient for f(x): f(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 8 f(x) = 1/2 x^2 + 3x - 7 f(x) = -5x^2 + 2x -9

Solution

a)given f(x)=3x2 -2x+8

f(x+h)=3(x+h)2 -2(x+h)+8

f(x+h)=3(x2+2xh+h2) -2x-2h+8

f(x+h)=3x2+6xh+3h2 -2x-2h+8

f(x+h)-f(x)=3x2+6xh+3h2 -2x-2h+8-3x2 +2x-8

f(x+h)-f(x)=6xh+3h2 -2h

difference coefficient =[f(x+h)-f(x)]/h

difference coefficient =[6xh+3h2 -2h]/h

difference coefficient =6x+3h -2

b)given f(x)=(1/2)x2 +3x-7

f(x+h)=(1/2)(x+h)2 +3(x+h)-7

f(x+h)=(1/2)(x2+2xh+h2) +3x+3h-7

f(x+h)=(1/2)x2+xh+(1/2)h2 +3x+3h-7

f(x+h)-f(x)=(1/2)x2+xh+(1/2)h2 +3x+3h-7 -(1/2)x2 -3x+7

f(x+h)-f(x)=xh+(1/2)h2 +3h

difference coefficient =[f(x+h)-f(x)]/h

difference coefficient =[xh+(1/2)h2 +3h]/h

difference coefficient =x+(1/2)h +3

c)given f(x)=-5x2 +2x-9

f(x+h)=-5(x+h)2 +2(x+h)-9

f(x+h)=-5(x2+2xh+h2) +2x+2h-9

f(x+h)=-5x2-10xh-5h2 +2x+2h-9

f(x+h)-f(x)=-5x2-10xh-5h2 +2x+2h-9 -(-5x2 +2x-9)

f(x+h)-f(x)=-5x2-10xh-5h2 +2x+2h-9 +5x2 -2x+9

f(x+h)-f(x)=-10xh-5h2 +2h

difference coefficient =[f(x+h)-f(x)]/h

difference coefficient =[-10xh-5h2 +2h]/h

difference coefficient =-10x-5h +2
