Answer:

The difference quotient is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

g(x) = 4x - 1

To find:

Difference quotient = ?

where h \neq 0

Solution:

Formula for Difference quotient is given as:

\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h}

First of all, let us find out g(x+h)

Replacing x with x+h

g(x+h) = 4(x+h)-1 \\\Rightarrow g(x+h) = 4x+4h-1

Now,

g(x+h)-g(x) = (4x+4h-1 )-(4x-1)\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4x+4h-1 -4x+1\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4h

Putting the above value in:

\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} = \dfrac{4h}{h}

We are given that, h \neq 0

\therefore \dfrac{4h}{h}  = 4

So, the difference quotient is 4.

For a quadratic function, which characteristics of its graph is equivalent to the zero of the function? a) y-intercept b) maximu
Sonja [21]

Answer:

d) x-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a function are the values of x that make y = 0.

Thus, they are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, that is, the x-intercepts.

a) is wrong. the y-intercept is simply the value of y when x = 0.

b) and c) are wrong. A quadratic can have only one maximum or one minimum; it can't have both. And they are not zeros except in the special case of y = ±ax².

The diagram below is the graph of y = x² + 3x - 46. It shows the zeros at x = -23 and x = 20. The minimum and the y-intercept are not zeros of the function.
