Question

If $h \neq 0$, then the difference quotient can be simplified into the form $A + Bh + Ch^2$. That is: $\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = A + Bh + Ch^2$ where the coefficients A, B, and C can be functions of x or just constant terms. Find these coefficients: $A = \boxed{} \quad B = \boxed{} \quad C = \boxed{}$ (Note: It's possible for one or more of these coefficients to be 0.)

If h ≠ 0, then the difference quotient can be simplified into the form A + Bh + Ch^2. That is:
(f(x+h) - f(x))/(h) = A + Bh + Ch^2
where the coefficients A, B, and C can be functions of x or just constant terms. Find these coefficients:
A = B = C =

Find these coefficients: A = , B = (Note: It's possible for one or more of these coefficients to be 0.) If h ≠ 0, then the difference quotient can be simplified into the form ABh + Ch. That is: f(x+h) f() where the coefficients A, B, and C can be functions of or just constant terms. Find these coefficients: B = (Note: It's possible for one or more of these coefficients to be 0.)
