A difference quotient 2015-01-12
From Sasha:
Simplify the difference quotient

f(x) − f(a)/ x-a
if x ≠ a.
f(x) = x^3 − 12

Difference quotient 2010-07-26
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 Sue:
When s(x)=x^3+x, compute and simplify the difference quotient s(x+h)-s(x)/h.

The difference quotient (f(x+h)-f(x))/h 2009-01-26
From helen:
Find the difference quotient of f, f(x+h)-f(x)/h, h does not equal 0, for this function. Be sure to simplify. that is, find f(x)=x^2-x+4
Answered by Robert Dawson.
[f(x)-f(1)]/(x-1) 2008-08-14
From katie:
Evaluate (if possible) the function of the given value of the independent variable:

f(x)=(x^3)-x:

[f(x)-f(1)]/(x-1)

A difference quotient 2008-07-10
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.

f(x) = 1/(x + 3)
