Use the four-step process to find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function at any point. (Simplify your answers completely.) f(x) = -x^2 + 4x Step 1: f(x+h) = -(x^2 + h^2 + 2hx) + 4 + 4h Step 2: f(x + h) - f(x) = -h(h + 2x) - 4 Step 3: frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h} = -(h + 2x - 4) Step 4: f'(x) = lim_{h o 0} frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h} = -2x + 4

Step 1
Step 1: f(x+h) = (2+h2+2hx) +4+ 4h X f(x+h) - f(x) = ~h(h+2x) - 4 f(x+h)_fx) = (h+2x-4) Show more…
