Evaluate the difference quotient for the given function. simplify your answer. f(x)=1/x , (f(x) - f(a))/x-a

The formula for difference quotient is

Here f(x) =

So f(a) =

First we shall find f(x) - f(a)

We get

f(x) - f(a)

=

Making denominators same we get

So we get

f(x) - f(a) =

So the difference quotient shall be

Hence the difference quotient is
