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
After one week, Jacob has earned $80 from babysitting, so his change is an increase of $80. The next week, he spends $85, so he experiences a decrease of $85. Over the two weeks, his overall change is $80-$85=-$5, or a decrease of $5.
