Answer:

-5 - h

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = 1 + 5x - x²

[f(5 + h) -f(5)]/h

= [1 + 5(5 + h) - (5 + h)² - 1 - 5(5) +5²]/h

= (25 + 5h - 25 - 10h - h² - 25 + 25)/h

= (-5h - h²)/h

= -5 - h

The difference quotient is -5 - h.

Answer:

$y-9=-3(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is given as

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Here m=-3 and (x1, y1)=(5, 9)

Therefore,

$y-9=-3(x-5)$

It depends on what its asking for and what dimension it is. If its 2D, the area is lengthXwidth, and perimeter you would add all the side lengths. If its 3D, volume is lengthXwidthXheigth.
