<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • f(q) = q² -2q +3
  • f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3
  • (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = 2x -2 +h
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The notation f(x) means you have a function that has been given the name f, and it makes use of the variable x. The variable in the parentheses is called the "argument" of the function f.

(a) To find f(q), you put q everywhere x is in the function equation. This is called evaluating the function for an argument of "q". In the following, note that we have simply changed x to q. (It's really that simple.)

... f(q) = q² -2q +3

(b) As in the previous case, we replace x with (x+h) everywhere.

... f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3

You can multiply it out, but there appears to be no need to do so for this part of the question.

(c) The intent here is that f(x+h) and f(x) will be replaced by their values and the whole thing simplified. This requires you  expand the expression you see in part (b), subtract f(x), collect terms, and divide the whole thing by h. You have to make use of what you know about multiplying binomials.

We can do it in parts:

... f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3

... = (x² +2xh +h²) + (-2x -2h) +3

Separating the h terms, this looks like ...

... = (x² -2x +3) + (2xh -2h +h²)

Now, we can finish the numerator part of the expression by subtracting f(x):

... f(x+h) -f(x) = (x² -2x +3) +(2xh -2h +h²) -(x² -2x +3)

You can see that the stuff in the first parentheses matches that in the last parentheses, so when we subtract the latter from the former, we get zero. We are left with only the terms containing h.

... f(x+h) -f(x) = 2xh -2h +h²

To finish up this problem, we need to divide this numerator value by the denominator h.

... (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = (2xh -2h +h²)/h

... = (2xh)/h -(2h)/h +h²/h

... = 2x -2 +h . . . . . this is the value of the expression

... (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = 2x -2 +h

Estimate how much MORE water it would take to completely FILL the vase to the top?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

81πinc^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of glass = π(3)^2(12) = 108πin^3

Volume of water in glass = π(3)^2(3) = 27πin^3

Volume needed to fill completely = 108π - 27π = 81π^3

Triangle DEF is an isosceles, so AngleDEF Is-congruent-toAngleDFE. A horizontal line has points C, F, E, G. 2 lines extend from
zaharov [31]

Answer:

\angle CFD =105^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\angle D FE = \angle DE F = 75^o

See attachment

Required

Determine the measure of \angle CFD

\angle CFD and \angle DFE are on a straight line.

So:

\angle CFD + \angle DFE = 180^o --- angle on a straight line

Substitute known values

\angle CFD + 75^o = 180^o

Collect like terms

\angle CFD =- 75^o + 180^o

\angle CFD =105^o

John typed a 48 word paragraph in 2/3 minute. What is the typing speed in words per minute​
serg [7]

Answer:  The answer is:  " 72 words per minute. "

___________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

___________________________

This is a "unit rate" problem.

We want to solve for/ find the number of words PER single minute.

___________________________

Given 48 words per (2/3) minute;

How many words per (one) minute?

__________________________

The answer is {48 ÷ (2/3) } words per minute:

 Note: dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal (inverse) of that particular number:

Hence:

__________________________

The answer is {48 * (3/2) } words per minute:

__________________________

 Write as:

  " \frac{48}{1} *\frac{3}{2} " ;

__________________________

  The "48" can be changed to "24" ; and the "2" can be changed to "1" ;

   → {Since: "48 ÷ 2 = 24 "} ;

___________________________

And we have:

___________________________

  " \frac{24}{1} *\frac{3}{1} = 24 * 3 = 72 " ;

___________________________

The answer is:  " 72 words per minute ."

___________________________

Hope this is helpful to you!
