Question

Find the difference quotient of the exponential function, f(x) = e^x

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference quotient in general looks like

$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$   Sometimes the symbol "delta x"  $\Delta x$   is used instead of h.

For the exponential function, the difference quotient is

$\frac{e^{x+h}-e^x}{h}$
