Question

Does anyone understand how to solve this?

Answer 1

a f(a) is the function f(x) where x is replaced by a.

So we have

(3x^2 + x + 3 - (3a^2 + a + 3)) / ( x - a)

= (3x^2 - 3a^2 + x - a) / (x = a) Answer

b (3(x + h)^2 + x + h + 3 - (3x^2 + x + 3)) / h

= (3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 + x + h - 3x^2 - x - 3) ) / h

= (6xh + h + 3 h^2) / h

= 6x + 3h + 1 Answer
