  From Brandon: i'm trying to figure out how to use the difference quotient with x^3, i have tried the following...(x+h)^2*(x+h)-(x+h)/h and i have only gotten as far as...(x^2+2xh+h^2)-(x+h)/h....i cannot see where i am goin astray, i know i am overlooking something simple, what am i overlooking?

  From Rita: Find the difference quotient of f, that is, find [f (x + h) - f (x)]/h, where
h does not = 0 for the given function.  Be sure to simplify.
