    Given f (x) = 3x²-5x-2

    a) To find f (a+h) replace x with a+h in the given function. So,

    f (a+h) = 3 (a+h) ²-5 (a+h) - 2

    =3 (a²+2ah+h²) - 5 (a+h) - 2 By using the formula (x+y) ²=x²+2xy+y².

    =3a²+6ah+3h²-5a-5h-2 By distributing property.

    b) Similarly to find f (a) we need to replace x with a. So,

    f (a) = 3a²-5a-2

    So, f (a+h) - f (h) = (3a²+6ah+3h²-5a-5h-2) - (3a²-5a-2)

    =3a²+6ah+3h²-5a-5h-2-3a²+5a+2.

    =6ah+3h^2-5h (All other terms has been cancel out)
