Answer

$\color{blue}{\bf{(a) 6x+6h+2 }}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{(b) 6h }}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{(c) 6 }}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $\bf{f(x)= 6x+2 }$ $\bf{(a)}$ We are asked to find $f(x+h)$ $ 6 (x+h) +2 $ $6x+6h+2$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ 6x+6h+2 }}$ $\bf{(b)}$ We are asked to find $f(x+h)-f(x)$ $ 6x+6h+2 -( 6x+2 )$ $ 6x+6h+2 - 6x-2 $ $\color{blue}{\bf{ 6h }}$ $\bf{(c)}$ We are asked to find $\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$ $\dfrac{ 6h }{h}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ 6 }}$
