Math Problem Statement

f(a+h)

f(a+h)

Solution

The image displays the function f(x)=2x2f(x) = 2x - 2, and you have requested to compute f(a+h)f(a+h).

To calculate f(a+h)f(a+h), substitute a+ha+h in place of xx in the function f(x)f(x).

f(a+h)=2(a+h)2f(a+h) = 2(a+h) - 2

Now, distribute the 2:

f(a+h)=2a+2h2f(a+h) = 2a + 2h - 2

Thus, the expression for f(a+h)f(a+h) is:

f(a+h)=2a+2h2f(a+h) = 2a + 2h - 2

  2. How do you interpret the difference quotient f(a+h)f(a)h\frac{f(a+h) - f(a)}{h}?
  3. What is the derivative of f(x)=2x2f(x) = 2x - 2?
  4. How would you graph the function f(x)=2x2f(x) = 2x - 2?
  5. What is the slope of the function f(x)=2x2f(x) = 2x - 2?

Tip: The expression f(a+h)f(a+h) is a key step in finding the derivative using the definition.
