Consider the function f(x) = x, and its difference quotient, f(x+h)-f(x) (x+h) - x x + 2xh+h-x h h h a) To gather numerical evidence of the limit of the difference quotient as h0, complete the table f(x+h)-f(x) h = below. Note that this represents the limit from the right: lim summol soola h0+ h 2xh+h h 0.1 0.01 2xh+h h 0.001 0.0001 Consider the function f(x) = x, and its difference quotient, f(x+h)-f(x) (x+h) - x x + 2xh+h-x h h h a) To gather numerical evidence of the limit of the difference quotient as h0, complete the table f(x+h)-f(x) h = below.
