Hi, I need a little help with problems like these; could someone give me step by step instructions on solving them?
1.Given the function g(x) = 5 − x2,
2. Given the function g(x) = x2 + 2x,
evaluate [g(x) − g(a)] / [x - a] , x ≠ a
I know the answer for the second one, but I don't know how to solve them, and I really want to learn as I am sure it will be on other tests.
Thank you SO mycg!!
The answer to 2 is x + a + 2 , x ≠ a
1.Given the function g(x) = 5 − x2,
Code:
[FONT=courier new]evaluate g(x + h) − g(x)[/FONT]
[FONT=courier new] --------------- [/FONT][FONT='inherit'], h ≠ 0[/FONT]
[FONT=courier new] h [/FONT]
2. Given the function g(x) = x2 + 2x,
evaluate [g(x) − g(a)] / [x - a] , x ≠ a
