Math Problem Statement

f(x+h) = 2( x+h)²+ 3(x+h)-1

Solution

You are given the function f(x+h)=2(x+h)2+3(x+h)1f(x+h) = 2(x+h)^2 + 3(x+h) - 1. To simplify this expression, we'll expand and combine like terms.

Step 1: Expand the squared term

(x+h)2=x2+2xh+h2(x+h)^2 = x^2 + 2xh + h^2

Step 2: Substitute into the function

f(x+h)=2(x2+2xh+h2)+3(x+h)1f(x+h) = 2(x^2 + 2xh + h^2) + 3(x+h) - 1

Step 3: Distribute the constants

f(x+h)=2x2+4xh+2h2+3x+3h1f(x+h) = 2x^2 + 4xh + 2h^2 + 3x + 3h - 1

Step 4: Combine like terms

f(x+h)=2x2+4xh+2h2+3x+3h1f(x+h) = 2x^2 + 4xh + 2h^2 + 3x + 3h - 1

So, the expanded form of f(x+h)f(x+h) is: f(x+h)=2x2+4xh+2h2+3x+3h1f(x+h) = 2x^2 + 4xh + 2h^2 + 3x + 3h - 1

Would you like further details or have any questions on this? Here are five questions to expand the topic:

  1. How does the function f(x)=2x2+3x1f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 1 look when you substitute specific values of hh?
  2. What happens when you calculate the derivative of f(x)f(x)?
  3. How do you find the limit of f(x+h)f(x+h) as hh approaches 0?
  4. What is the significance of the terms 4xh4xh and 2h22h^2 in this context?
  5. How would this process change if the original function
