Find the limit if it exists.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{\Delta x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ (x+\Delta x)^{2} -x ^{2} }{ \Delta x }\]

hartnn (hartnn):

can u expand the numerator? use (a+b)^2 - a^2+2ab+b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get 2xh + h^2 as the numerator after expanding and simplifying. When deltax = h.

hartnn (hartnn):

okk,take h common from numerator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The final answer is 2x?

hartnn (hartnn):

yup, because h gets cancelled from numerator and denominator.

thanks again!

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome :)
