The difference quotient of the expression will be 4.
f(x) = 5 + 5x + 4x²
f(3) = 5 + 5(3) + 4(3)³
= 56
Now [f(x) - f(3)]/(x - 3) will be:
= (4x² + 5x + 5 - 56)/(x - 3)
= (4x² + 5x - 51)/(x - 3)
= (4x² + 17x - 12x - 5)/(x - 3)
= (4x + 17)(x - 3)/(x - 3)
= 4x + 17
The difference quotient will be:
g(x + h) = 4(x + h) + 17
= [g(x + h) - g(x)]/h
= (4x + 4h + 17 - 4x - 17)/h
= 4h/h
= 4
