(1 point) Let f(x) = -5x - 8. If h # 0, then the difference quotient can be simplified as f(x + h)- f(x) = Ah + Bx + C, h 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 = -18 B = 0 and C = 8 Use the simplified expression to find f' (x) = lim f (x + h) - f(x) h - 0 h Finally, find each of the following: f'(1) = 8 f' ( 2 ) = 16 and f (3) = 24 Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.
