Math Problem Statement

F(x)=x^2-6x F(x+h)

Solution

To find F(x+h)F(x + h) for the function F(x)=x26xF(x) = x^2 - 6x, we need to substitute x+hx + h into the function for xx.

Steps:

  1. Start with the original function: F(x)=x26xF(x) = x^2 - 6x

  2. Substitute x+hx + h in place of xx: F(x+h)=(x+h)26(x+h)F(x + h) = (x + h)^2 - 6(x + h)

  3. Now expand the terms:

    • (x+h)2=x2+2xh+h2(x + h)^2 = x^2 + 2xh + h^2
    • 6(x+h)=6x6h-6(x + h) = -6x - 6h

    So, we get: F(x+h)=x2+2xh+h26x6hF(x + h) = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - 6x - 6h

Final answer:

F(x+h)=x2+2xh+h26x6hF(x + h) = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - 6x - 6h
