Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The left hand side of the equation contains proper fractions while the right hand side of the equation contains mixed fraction. The mixed fraction can be changed to improper fraction. 1 2/3 becomes 5/3

To breakdown the left hand side of the equation, we would take lowest common factor of 5 and 15. It is 15

Considering 4/5, if 15 divides 5,the result is 3. Multiplying 3 by 4 gives 12. So it becomes

12/15

Considering 13/15, if 15 divides 15,the result is 1, Multiplying 1 by 13 gives 13. So it becomes

13/15

The equation becomes

(12 + 13)/15 = 5/3

25/15 = 5/3

Simplifying 25/15 to its lowest terms, it becomes 5/3 so

5/3 = 5/3

4x2 + 4x - 1, evaluate and fully simplify each of the - For the function f(0) following f(s + h) f(x + h) - f(5) h 10

Andrew [12]

Given the function f(x);

$f(x)=-4x^2+4x-1$

Evaluating the function f(x+h);

$\begin{gathered} f(x+h)=-4(x+h)^2+4(x+h)-1 \\ f(x+h)=-4(x^2+2xh+h^2)^{}+4(x+h)-1 \\ f(x+h)=-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1 \end{gathered}$

So;

$f(x+h)=-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1$

Evaluating the second function;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1-(-4x^2+4x-1)}{h} \\ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1+4x^2-4x+1}{h} \\ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4x^2+4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x-4x+4h-1+1}{h} \\ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4h^2-8xh^{}+4h}{h} \end{gathered}$

simplifying further;
