Math Problem Statement

If f(x) = 4x + 3, evaluate f(x+h).

Solution

Given that f(x)=4x+3f(x) = 4x + 3, to evaluate f(x+h)f(x+h), we substitute x+hx+h into the function f(x)f(x).

f(x+h)=4(x+h)+3f(x+h) = 4(x+h) + 3

Now, simplify the expression:

f(x+h)=4x+4h+3f(x+h) = 4x + 4h + 3

Thus, f(x+h)=4x+4h+3f(x+h) = 4x + 4h + 3.

Would you like further details on function evaluation or how this relates to limits and derivatives?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. What is the difference between evaluating f(x+h)f(x+h) and f(h)f(h)?
  2. How do you find the difference quotient f(x+h)f(x)h\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}?
  3. What is the geometric interpretation of f(x+h)f(x+h) for a linear function?
  4. How would the expression change if f(x)f(x) were a quadratic function?
  5. Can you apply this to find the derivative of f(x)f(x)?

Tip: When evaluating functions with variables like x+hx+h, always distribute carefully and watch out for any simplifications.
