Square root of (x+deltaX)+ 2 - square root of (x+2)/ delta x
\[\frac{ \sqrt{(x+\Delta)+2} - \sqrt{x+2}}{dx}\] multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate (change the minus sign to a plus) then take the limit as Delta goes to zero.
\[\sqrt{[x+Deltax]+2}-\sqrt{x+2}*\sqrt{[x+Deltax]+2}+\sqrt{x+2}?
Yes. it's an ugly version of (a-b)*(a+b)= a^2 - b^2
is there simpler way?
would it be [x+delta+2]-[x+2]
the delta x cancels out and ur left with 1/sqrt[[x+deltax]+2]-sqrt[x+2]?
except when I cut and paste, I did not change the minus sign to a plus sign: 1/sqrt[[x+deltax]+2] + sqrt[x+2]
when delta x goes to zero you end up with \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+2}}\]
Fixed \[ \frac{ x+\Delta x+2 - (x+2)}{\Delta x\sqrt{(x+\Delta x)+2} + \sqrt{x+2}} \]
got it thanks i forgot to plug in zero for delta x ur a life saver
