C). Distributive property
Where you take the number outside of the parentheses and apply or distribute (multiply) it to all the numbers inside of the parentheses! This is usually to help get the x by itself to help determine what the x value equals!

Evaluate the difference quotient for the given function. Simplify your answer.

nasty-shy [4]

I suppose you mean

$f(x) = \dfrac{x+5}{x+1}$

Then

$f(3) = \dfrac{3+5}{3+1} = \dfrac84 = 2$

and the difference quotient is

$\dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \dfrac{\frac{x+5}{x+1}-2}{x-3} \\\\ \dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \dfrac{\frac{x+5-2(x+1)}{x+1}}{x-3} \\\\ \dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \dfrac{-x+3}{(x+1)(x-3)} \\\\ \dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \boxed{-\dfrac{x-3}{(x+1)(x-3)}}$
