5x + 6 + (-7x - 4)
5x + 6 - 7x - 4
-2x + 2
In case you're not already aware, the expression 
is called the "difference quotient" and represents the average rate of change of a function 
over an interval ![[x,x+h]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%2Cx%2Bh%5D)
.
For the function 
, by substituting 
we get
Then the difference quotient is
where the last equality holds as long as 
.
Answer:
11/12
Step-by-step explanation:you have to turn all the mixed numbers into improper fraction so 1 1/3 is 16/12 1 1/4 is 15/12 and if you add them you get 2 7/12 and that minus 3 6/12 is 11/12
Answer:
Explanation:
fg(x) = (x+2)(3x^2 - 1)
= 3x^3 - x + 6x^2 - 2
= 3x^3 + 6x^2 - x - 2
gf(x) = (3x^2 - 1)(x + 2)
= 3x^3 + 6x^2 - x - 2
As you can see:
fg(x) = gf(x)
3x^3 + 6x^2 - x - 2 = 3x^3 + 6x^2 - x - 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
A good thing to understand is that when a whole number and a fraction are multiplied, the method is the same as multiplying 2 fractions. What that means is make the whole number into the numerator of a fraction and put a 1 where the denominator should be.
Solution
4/1 * 2/3 = 4*2 / 1 * 3 = 8/3
