Frequently Asked Questions
The difference quotient is a formula that approximates the derivative of a function. It is given by (f(x+h)-f(x))/h, where h is a small increment.
Use standard algebraic notation: '+' for addition, '-' for subtraction, '*' for multiplication, '/' for division, and '^' for exponentiation. For example, x^2+2*x-1.
h must be non-zero to avoid division by zero. Please enter a non-zero value for h.
