Part 1: Limit of a difference quotient Suppose $f(x) = frac{3}{x - 2}$. Evaluate the limit by using algebra to simplify the difference quotient (in first answer box) and then evaluating the limit (in the second answer box). $lim_{h o 0} left( frac{f(5 + h) - f(5)}{h} ight) = lim_{h o 0} left( ext{ } ight) = ext{ }$ Part 2: Interpreting the limit of a difference quotient

Step 1
0 Now, we need to find the limit as h approaches 0. We can do this by using the derivative: lim h-,0 h.0 = lim h->0 h.h-0 = lim h->0 (h-0) = lim h->0 5.h-0 Show more…
