Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use \(a[-5,5,1]\) by [-5,5,1] viewing rectangle. Then find the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. $$f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+9 x+1$$
Find and simplify the difference quotient $$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}, h \neq 0$$for the given function. $$f(x)=\frac{1}{2 x}$$
I noticed that the difference quotient is always zero if \(f(x)=c,\) where \(c\) is any constant.
Suppose that a function \(f\) whose graph contains no breaks or gaps on \((a, c)\) is increasing on \((a, b),\) decreasing on \((b, c)\) and defined at \(b .\) Describe what occurs at \(x=b .\) What does the function value \(f(b)\) represent?
Find and simplify the difference quotient $$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}, h \neq 0$$for the given function. $$f(x)=7$$
