Let us denote, by #Q_f,# the Quotient Ratio for a function (fun.) #f.#
Then, #Q_f" is given by, "Q_f={f(x+h)-f(x)}/h, h ne 0....(ast).#
We need #Q_f# for the fun. #f(x)=7x^3+3x.#
# f(x)=7x^3+3x rArr f(x+h)=7(x+h)^3+3(x+h).#
Now, #(a+b)^3=a^3+b^3+3ab(a+b).#
#:. f(x+h)=7{x^3+h^3+3xh(x+h)}+3(x+h),#
#=7{x^3+h^3+3x^2h+3xh^2}+3(x+h),#
#=7x^3+21x^2h+21xh^2+7h^3+3x+3h.#
# rArr f(x+h)-f(x),#
#=7x^3+21x^2h+21xh^2+7h^3+3x+3h-(7x^3+3x),#
#=21x^2h+21xh^2+7h^3+3h,#
#=h(21x^2+21xh+7h^2+3).#
