If they don't have water they can die because they breathe water.
The difference quotient and simplification will be = [4 -h-2x]
The given equation is as follows: f(x)= 4x - x²
For finding the quotient and further simplification we must follow the following steps:
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h
<h3>What is simplification of algebraic operations?</h3>
Getting the functions in their lowest terms is known as simplification.
Brackets will get open and solved further;
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4h - h² - 2x]/ h
Finally dividing the whole equation with h;
= [4 - h - 2x]

# SPJ1
Average rate of change is defined by (y^-y)/(t^-t) where the ^ means the final(so final y and final t)
So you'd do (8.75-2.75)/(12-4) which is 6/8 which is 3/4 of a dollar per week
