Use the di fference quotient to fi nd the instantaneous rate of change of:
f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 1?
f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 1?

@Nick, she is well aware of that. If you read the question, she was asking how to solve the problem with the difference quotient.
f(x+h) - f(x)
Lim H-> 0 __________
h
I'd like to do this one for you, but it is a bit confusing to type it all up. Check out this link, it has a great example for you to use as a model

Instantaneous rate of change is essentially asking to find the first derivative
f(x)=x^2-3x+1
f'(x)=2x-3
f(x)=x^2-3x+1
f'(x)=2x-3
