Let f(x)=6−1x+15x^2. calculate the following values:
f(a)=
f(a+h)=
f(a+h)−f(a)h= for h≠0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(a), replace x with a:  f(a)=6−1a+15a^2

To find f(a+h), replace x with (a+h):  f(a+h) = 6 -(a + h) + 15(a+h)^2

To find f(a+h)−f(a), expand f(a+h) as given above, and then subtract f(a):

f(a+h)−f(a) = 6 -a - h + 15(a^2 + 2ah + h^2)   -   [6 - a + 15a^2]

                   6 - a - h + 15a^2 + 30ah + 15h^2  -   [6 - a + 15a^2]

This simplifies to:   f(a+h)−f(a) = - h + 30ah + 15h^2  

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
