Hello! I need some assistance with this homework question, pleaseQ3

Answer 1

difference quotient (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:
`\frac{f(x\text{ + h) - f(x)}}{h}`

The above shows the rate of change over an interval a, b:

`\begin{gathered} \frac{f(b\text{) - f(a)}}{b\text{ - a}} \\ \text{where f(b) = f(x + h)} \\ f(x)\text{ = f(a)} \\ h\text{ = b - a} \end{gathered}`

The term that is used to refer to the rate of change over an interval is difference quotient (option B)
