Find the difference quotient of the following function fx 2
Find the difference quotient of the following function: f(x) = 2x^2 - x + 3 Write just the expression without leaving space in between.
Solution
Difference quotient
[f(x+h)-f(x)]/h
[2(x+h)^2-(x+h)+3-(2x^2-x+3)]/h
[2x^2+2h^2+4hx-h-x+3-2x^2+x-3]h
[2h^2+4hx-h]h
2h+4x-1
