Question

Find the difference quotient, f(x)=3x^2+8x+3x PLease show your work in your answer

Answer 1

If you mean (x^3-8x)-(3x-2) then: 
1) leave the (x^3-8x) part alone and use the distributive property on the -(3x-2). 
2) your question now becomes x^3-8x-3x+2 
3) combine the like terms: x^3-11x+2
