Let f(x) = -5 + 7x. Then the expression
f(x+h) - f(x) / h
can be written in the form
A / (Bx + Ch + x)
where A, B, and C are constants. (Note: It's possible for one or more of these constants to be 0.) Find the constants A, B, and C.
Use your answer from above to find
lim h->0 (f(x+h) - f(x)) / h
Finally, find each of the following:
f'(1)
f'(2)
f'(3)
