For each function, find (a)ƒ(x+h), (b)ƒ(x+h)-ƒ(x), and (c)[ƒ(x+h)-ƒ(x)]/h. ƒ(x)=-2x+5

검증된 단계별 안내

Start by identifying the given function: \(f(x) = -2x + 5\).
To find \(f(x+h)\), substitute \(x+h\) into the function in place of \(x\). This means replacing every \(x\) in the function with \((x+h)\), so write \(f(x+h) = -2(x+h) + 5\).
Next, find \(f(x+h) - f(x)\) by subtracting the original function \(f(x)\) from the expression you found for \(f(x+h)\). This gives \(f(x+h) - f(x) = [-2(x+h) + 5] - [-2x + 5]\).
Simplify the expression \(f(x+h) - f(x)\) by distributing and combining like terms carefully.
Finally, to find \(\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}\), divide the simplified expression from the previous step by \(h\). This will give you the difference quotient, which is a fundamental concept in calculus and algebra for understanding rates of change.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Function Notation and Evaluation

Function notation, such as ƒ(x), represents a rule that assigns each input x to an output. Evaluating ƒ(x+h) means substituting x+h into the function in place of x, which helps analyze how the function behaves when the input changes by h.

Difference of Function Values

The expression ƒ(x+h) - ƒ(x) calculates the change in the function's output as the input changes from x to x+h. This difference is fundamental in understanding how the function varies over an interval and is a stepping stone toward concepts like average rate of change.

Difference Quotient

The difference quotient [ƒ(x+h) - ƒ(x)]/h represents the average rate of change of the function over the interval from x to x+h. It is a key concept in calculus, used to approximate derivatives, and helps understand the function's behavior as h approaches zero.
