Answer:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16

Required

The difference quotient for h

The difference quotient is calculated as:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}

Calculate f(x + h)

f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16

f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}(x+h) - 16

f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16

The numerator of \frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} is:

f(x + h) - f(x) =  \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -(\frac{7}{2}x - 16)

f(x + h) - f(x) =  \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -\frac{7}{2}x + 16

Collect like terms

f(x + h) - f(x) =  \frac{7}{2}x  -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}h- 16 + 16

f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}h

So, we have:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h \div h

Rewrite as:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h * \frac{1}{h}

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}

A team spent 20 mins on passing drills and 40 minuets ona shooting drill, what is the ratio of time spent on shooting drills to
aliya0001 [1]
20 minutes on passing .....40 minutes on shooting

ratio of time spent on shooting to passing....
these are not hard, u just have to pay attention to the wording...

the ratio of shooting to passing is 40/20 which reduces to 2/1 or 2:1 or
2 to 1 <===

but if it would have asked for passing to shooting, it would have been :
20/40 which reduces to 1/2 or 1:2 or 1 to 2

so ur answer is 2/1 or 2:1 or 2 to 1
