No. 79. How is the answer -3/x(x+h)?
1 Answer
See explanation.
Explanation:
Number 79 says that
More generally, when we give
When
When
And when
With all this, we now simplify
#(color(blue)(f(x+h))-color(green)(f(x)))/h=(color(blue)(3/(x+h))-color(green)(3/x))/(h)#
#color(white)((f(x+h)-f(x))/h)=((3x)/color(red)(x(x+h))-(3(x+h))/color(red)(x(x+h)))/color(orange)h#
#color(white)((f(x+h)-f(x))/h)=(3x-3(x+h))/(color(orange)hcolor(red)(x(x+h)))#
#color(white)((f(x+h)-f(x))/h)=(cancel(3x)-cancel(3x)-3h)/(hx(x+h))#
#color(white)((f(x+h)-f(x))/h)=(-3cancelh)/(cancelhx(x+h))#
#color(white)((f(x+h)-f(x))/h)=(-3)/(x(x+h))#
