given f(x)=x² + 7x, (a) find f(x + h) and simplify. (b) find (f(x + h)-f(x))/h and simplify. part: 0 / 2 part 1 of 2 (a) f(x + h) =

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Sustituir \(x\) por \(x + h\) en \(f(x)\) \[ \begin{align*} f(x+h)&=(x + h)^2+7(x + h)\\ &=x^{2}+2xh+h^{2}+7x + 7h \end{align*} \] ## Step2: Encontrar \(f(x + h)-f(x)\) \[ \begin{align*} f(x + h)-f(x)&=(x^{2}+2xh+h^{2}+7x + 7h)-(x^{2}+7x)\\ &=x^{2}+2xh+h^{2}+7x + 7h - x^{2}-7x\\ &=2xh+h^{2}+7h \end{align*} \] ## Step3: Calcular \(\frac{f(x + h)-f(x)}{h}\) \[ \begin{align*} \frac{f(x + h)-f(x)}{h}&=\frac{2xh+h^{2}+7h}{h}\\ &=\frac{h(2x + h+7)}{h}\\ &=2x+h + 7 \end{align*} \] # Answer: (a) \(f(x + h)=x^{2}+2xh+h^{2}+7x + 7h\) (b) \(\frac{f(x + h)-f(x)}{h}=2x+h + 7\)
