Let f(x)=x= √x . Compute the difference quotient for f(x) at a=37 with h=33 (Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.) The difference quotient is =

Answer 1

Let f(x) = sqrt(x). The difference quotient formula is (f(x+h)-f(x))/h where in this case x=a=37 and h = 33. So plug in (sqrt(37+33)-sqrt(33))/33 to find the difference quotient.
