Find the Difference Quotient f(x) = square root of 11x

$f (x) = \sqrt{11 x}$

Step 1

Consider the difference quotient formula.

$\frac{f (x + h) - f (x)}{h}$

Step 2

Find the components of the definition.

Evaluate the function at $x = x + h$ .

Replace the variable $x$ with $x + h$ in the expression.

$f (x + h) = \sqrt{11 (x + h)}$

The final answer is $\sqrt{11 (x + h)}$ .

$\sqrt{11 (x + h)}$

Find the components of the definition.

$f (x + h) = \sqrt{11 (x + h)}$

$f (x) = \sqrt{11 x}$

$f (x + h) = \sqrt{11 (x + h)}$

$f (x) = \sqrt{11 x}$

Step 3

Plug in the components.

$\frac{f (x + h) - f (x)}{h} = \frac{\sqrt{11 (x + h)} - (\sqrt{11 x})}{h}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 1$ by $\sqrt{11 x}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{11 (x + h)} - \sqrt{11 x}}{h}$
