Final answer:

To find the quantity f(x + h) - f(x) all over h, substitute the given function into the expression and simplify.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quantity f(x + h) - f(x) all over h, we substitute the given function into the expression:

f(x + h) = 4(x + h)² + 3(x + h) - 5

f(x) = 4x² + 3x - 5

Substituting these values into the expression f(x + h) - f(x) all over h, we simplify:

4(x + h)² + 3(x + h) - 5 - (4x² + 3x - 5) all over h

Simplifying further will give you the answer.
