Answer:

71. \ \ \ f(a) \  = \  7a \ - \ 3; \ f(a+h) \  =  \ 7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 7

72. \ \ \ f(a) \  = \  5a^{2}; \ f(a+h) \  =  \ {5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2}; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 10a \ + \ 5h

Step-by-step explanation:

In single-variable calculus, the difference quotient is the expression

                                              \displaystyle\frac{f(x+h) \ - \ f(x)}{h},

which its name comes from the fact that it is the quotient of the difference of the evaluated values of the function by the difference of its corresponding input values (as shown in the figure below).

This expression looks similar to the method of evaluating the slope of a line. Indeed, the difference quotient provides the slope of a secant line (in blue) that passes through two coordinate points on a curve.

                                             m \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{rise}{run}.

Similarly, the difference quotient is a measure of the average rate of change of the function over an interval. When the limit of the difference quotient is taken as <em>h</em> approaches 0 gives the instantaneous rate of change (rate of change in an instant) or the derivative of the function.

Therefore,

              71. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{(7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3) \ - \ (7a \ - \ 3)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{7h}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 7

               72. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5(a \ + \ h)}^{2} \ - \ {5(a)}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2} \ - \ {5a}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{h(10a \ + \ 5h)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 10a \ + \ 5h

Solve using square root method
avanturin [10]
\frac{1}{2}(x+5)^2 + 9 = -15

\frac{(x+5)^2+18}{2} =  \frac{-30}{2}

Cancel out the denominators.

(x+5)² + 18 = -30

(x+5)² = -30 - 18

(x+5)² = -48

The equation is impossible, we have a negative number.

There isn't a number that squared gives a negative number (the square is always positive).

√(x+5)² = +/- √-48

x+5 = +/- √-48

IMPOSSIBLE

You can write the result in imaginary numbers

x+5=+/- 4i√3

What happens to the inequality symbol when you multiply or divide each side by a positive number?
Pani-rosa [81]
If you multiply or divide by a positive number the inequality sign DOES NOT CHANGE!

If you multiply or divide by a negative number the inequality sign flips around and becomes the opposite.
