Find the difference quotient of f; that is, find
[f(x + h) - f(x)]/x, where h cannot be 0. Be sure to simplify.
f(x) = -3x + 1
This is my set up:
[-3(x + h) + 1 - (-3x +1)]/h
You say?

Every living thing has no choice but to execute its pre-programmed instructions embedded in it (known as instincts).
But only a human may have the freedom and ability to oppose his natural robotic nature.
But, by opposing it, such a human becomes no more of this world.

Good question. I will try later at the job on my lunch break.

f(x) = [-3(x + h) + 1 - (-3x +1)]/h
Numerator
-3x -3h + 1 + 3x - 1 = -3h
We now have:
f(x) = -3h/h
f(x) = -3
Yes, it can be simplified.
Note: If I plan to stay here, I gotta find out how to upload pictures. All this typing on my cell phone is driving me crazy.

-3 is correct.
Some have managed to get images here using a phone but it's not easy and others have failed.
When I joined, the old server allowed small image uploads*, but MIF had to switch to a new server with new rules and this image facility was one casualty. As much as possible I use a laptop and I have an Imgur account. It still takes a while but it works.

Yes but I don't want to get involved with Imgur. Laptop? Computer? I have no money to buy these things. I live the CHECK TO CHECK lifestyle, Bob. NYC is crazy expensive.
