Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other. Note: the coefficients (the numbers you multiply by, such as "5" in 5x) can be different.
The difference quotient of the function that has been presented to us will turn out to be 5.
<h3>How can I calculate the quotient of differences?</h3>
In this step, we wish to determine the difference quotient for the function that was supplied.
To begin, keep in mind that the difference quotient may be calculated by:
Lim h->0 
Now, for the purpose of the function, we need this:
Then we will have:

j(x) = 5x - 3
Then the following will be true:
Therefore, 5 is the value of the difference quotient for j(x) is %

Answer: 3 or -3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 - |x| = 1
First subtract 4
-|x| = -3
The | | sign makes it both positive and negative
So -|3| and -|-3| will = -3
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the quadratic in answer choice C using the quadratic formula:
.
Here a=1, b=2, and c=17.
Substitute and you'll have:
