Answer

$\delta f(x)=9\cdot 10^x$ $\delta f(x)=(b-1)b^x$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=10^x$ Compute $\delta f(x)$: $\delta f(x)=f(x+1)-f(x)=10^(x+1)-10^x=10^x\cdot 10-10^x$ $=10^x(10-1)$ $=9\cdot 10^x$ We got: $\delta f(x)=9\cdot 10^x$ We are given the function: $f(x)=b^x$ Compute $\delta f(x)$: $\delta f(x)=f(x+1)-f(x)=b^(x+1)-b^x=b^x\cdot b-b^x$ $=b^x(b-1)$ $=(b-1)b^x$ We got: $\delta f(x)=(b-1)b^x$
