Answer

$\color{blue}{\bf{(a) -4x-4h+2 }}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{(b) -4h }}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{(c) -4 }}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $\bf{f(x)= -4x + 2 }$ $\bf{(a)}$ We are asked to find $f(x+h)$ $ -4 (x+h) +2 $ $\color{blue}{\bf{ -4x-4h+2 }}$ $\bf{(b)}$ We are asked to find $f(x+h)-f(x)$ $ -4x-4h+2 -( -4x + 2 )$ $ -4x-4h+2 +4x - 2 )$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ -4h }}$ $\bf{(c)}$ We are asked to find $\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$ $\dfrac{ -4h }{h}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ -4 }}$
