how do i get rid of the squarroot Sqrt((x+h)^2 - 2 (x + h)) - sqrt(x^2-2x) all over h im trying to figure out the derivative how do i get rid of the squarroot Sqrt((x+h)^2 - 2 (x + h)) - sqrt(x^2-2x) all over h im trying to figure out the derivative @Mathematics

hero (hero):

Dude, I hate to say this, but no one is going to help you with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, I would have to think way too much...I'm bored but not THAT bored...and I don't know if I could figure it out anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guy for taking your time. i just figured it out. its multiply by the conjugate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome! P.s. idk if its just me, but I'd be much more able to help if you took the time to use the equation tool to make it look a little neater rather than your notation which is much harder to visualize.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, multiply by the conjugate. You should get (x-1)/(sqrt(x^2-2x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you run me through the step after conjugate? kinda stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, sure. Multiplying by the conjugate in both the numerator/denominator will get rid of the square roots on top.. so |dw:1319428433054:dw|
