In case you're not already aware, the expression \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h is called the "difference quotient" and represents the average rate of change of a function f over an interval [x,x+h].

For the function f(x)=x^2+3x+4, by substituting x+h we get

f(x+h)=(x+h)^2+3(x+h)+4=(x^2+2xh+h^2)+(3x+3h)+4=x^2+3x+4+(2x+3)h+h^2

Then the difference quotient is

\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h=\dfrac{(x^2+3x+4+(2x+3)h+h^2)-(x^2+3x+4)}h

=\dfrac{(2x+3)h+h^2}h=2x+3+h

where the last equality holds as long as h\neq0.

Solve the equation: Sin2x - Sinx = 0
Viktor [21]
We know that sin2x=2sinxcosx 
(search the net for proof if you wish) 

So the original equation becomes

2sinxcosx-sinx=0
The two terms both have sinx that can be taken out to get: 

sinx(2cosx-1)=0 
This is true if sinx=0 or 2cosx-1=0 , rewritten: cosx=1/2

sinx=0 than x=2kπ
cosx=1/2 than x=π/3+2kπ
where k is an integer
