Given:

The function


f(x)=4-7x+16x^2

Required:

Calculate the given functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation is as:


\begin{gathered} f(a)=4-7a+16a^2 \\ f(a+h)=4-7(a+h)+16(a+h)^2 \\ =4-7a-7h+16(a^2+h^2+2ah) \\ =4-7a-7h+16a^2+16h^2+32ah \\ Now, \\ (f(a+h)-f(a))/(h)=(4-7a-7h+16a^2+16h^2+32ah-4+7a-16a^2)/(h) \\ =(-7h+16h^2+32ah)/(h) \\ =-7+16h+32a \end{gathered}
