Yes. Think of it like this. You borrowed $1 from your friend for a candy bar. You now have -$1 because you owe your friend money. If you ask your friend for another $5 because you found another thing you wanted you have -$6. When you already have a negative, you are subtracting even more from that, which brings you to an even higher negative number

PLEASE HELP Which expression represents the difference quotient of the function f (x) = negative StartRoot 2 x EndRoot?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

c is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

from,

f'(x) = h >0 f(x + h) - f(x)

f(x) = - √2x

f(x + h) = - √(2x + h)

f'(x) = h>0 -√(2x + h) - √2x

rationalize the denominator

= h>0 -√(2x + h) + √2x (-√(2x + h) - √2x)

h (-√(2x + h) - √2x)

= h>0 4x + 2h - 4x

h(-√(2x + h) -√2x)

= h>0 2h

h(-√(2x+h) - √2x)

= h>0  2 

-√(2x+h) - √2x
