Answer:

a). 8(x + a)

b). 8(h + 2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Given function is, f(x) = 8x²

For x = a,

f(a) = 8a²

Now substitute these values in the expression,

$\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}$ = $\frac{8x^2-8a^2}{x-a}$

= $\frac{8(x^2-a^2)}{(x-a)}$

= $\frac{8(x-a)(x+a)}{(x-a)}$

= 8(x + a)

b). $\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$ = $\frac{8(x+h)^2-8x^2}{h}$

= $\frac{8(x^2+h^2+2xh)-8x^2}{h}$

= $\frac{8x^2+8h^2+16xh-8x^2}{h}$

= (8h + 16x)

= 8(h + 2x)
