Calculate the difference quotient for each of the following functions. Show all your work. Remember the formula for the difference quotient: (f(x + h) - f(x)) / h

1. Find the difference quotient for f(x) = 3x + 2.

2. Determine the difference quotient for f(x) = x² - 5x + 1.

3. The difference quotient is used to calculate the rate of change of a function.

4. As 'h' approaches zero, the difference quotient approaches the of the function.

5. Calculate the difference quotient for f(x) = 1/x.

6. The difference quotient is always a constant value.
