\[f (x)= \sqrt{x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sqrt(x+h)-sqrt(x)/h => [(sqrt(x+h)-sqrt(x))*(sqrt(x+h)+sqrt(x)]/(h*(sqrt(x+h)+sqrt(x)) => (once cancelled) = h/(h*(sqrt(h+x)+sqrt(x))) = 1/(sqrt(x+h)+sqrt(x)) => (as h->0) = 1/2*sqrt(x) .. sorry this isn't typed up well computer is slow .. 1st part i rationalised the fraction btw. hope this helps
