I set used the def'n of the derivative and came up with: [(1/√(2x+2h-1))-(1/(√x+h))]/h. My derviative ended up being -x/92x-1+√(2x-1)√x) which I do not think is correct. The reason I think it is wrong is because part b of the question asks, "at which point does the tangent to the function have a slope of -1?" I plugged the value of -1 into the slope function (which was my deriva
