Answer

$\color{blue}{\bf{(a) 1-x-h }}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{(b) -h }}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{(c) -1 }}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $\bf{f(x)= 1-x }$ $\bf{(a)}$ We are asked to find $f(x+h)$ $ 1- (x+h) $ $\color{blue}{\bf{ 1-x-h }}$ $\bf{(b)}$ We are asked to find $f(x+h)-f(x)$ $ 1-x-h-( 1-x )$ $ 1-x-h- 1+x $ $\color{blue}{\bf{ -h }}$ $\bf{(c)}$ We are asked to find $\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$ $\dfrac{-h }{h}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ -1 }}$
