Question

((1 + h)^2 -1) / ((1 + h) -1)
is supposed to be: h + 2
I get: 1 + h

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

how you got 1+h ?
even i get h+2

Answer 2

denominator is just 1+h-1 = h
what you got for numerator ?

Answer 3

I got h + 2.

There's a difference of two squares in the numerator. One of those factors divides out with the denominator.

Is there more to the problem?

Answer 4

Seems it's an id10t problem. Thanks :)

Answer 5

means you got h+2 now ?
