What is the difference quotient for the function f(x) = 8/ 4x + 1

AleksAgata [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Last option (counting from the top)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given function f(x), the difference quotient is:

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

In this case, we have:

f(x) = \frac{8}{4x + 1}

Then the difference quotient will be:

\frac{1}{h}*( \frac{8}{4*(x + h) + 1} - \frac{8}{4x + 1})

Now we should get a common denominator.

We can do that by multiplying and dividing each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction, so we will get:

\frac{1}{h}*( \frac{8}{4*(x + h) + 1} - \frac{8}{4x + 1}) = \frac{1}{h}*(\frac{8*(4x + 1)}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)} - \frac{8*(4(x + h) + 1)}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)})

Now we can simplify that to get:

\frac{1}{h}*\frac{8*(4x + 1) - 8*(4(x + h) + 1)}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)}} =  \frac{1}{h}*\frac{-32h}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)}} = \frac{-32}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)}}

Then the correct option is the last one (counting from the top)

What is <br> (-4z^2-11u)-5z^2
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Solution for (-4z^2-11u)-5z^2=
<span>Simplifying (-4z2 + -11u) + -5z2 = 0
 Reorder the terms: (-11u + -4z2) + -5z2 = 0
  Remove parenthesis around (-11u + -4z2) -11u + -4z2 + -5z2 = 0
  Combine like terms: -4z2 + -5z2 = -9z2 -11u + -9z2 = 0 Solving -11u + -9z2 = 0 Solving for variable 'u'.
 Add '9z2' to each side of the equation. -11u + -9z2 + 9z2 = 0 + 9z2 Combine like terms: -9z2 + 9z2 = 0 -11u + 0 = 0 + 9z2 -11u = 0 + 9z2
 Remove the zero: -11u = 9z2 Divide each side by '-11'. u = -0.8181818182z2 Simplifying u = -0.8181818182z<span>2</span></span>
