I know this is simple I just forget it ;P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the same as before. Apply the avg rate of change formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

........yeh simple

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

f(x)=sqrt(2x+6)

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Find simplified quotient

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

\[(\sqrt(2(x+h)+6)-\sqrt(2x+6))/h\]

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Is that correct?:O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Do you have to rewrite that or something?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

I need to simplify it :P

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

So then sqrt(2x+2h+6)-sqrt(2x+6) all over h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the most simplification I can think of is to get rid of the square roots in the numerator, but that's just going to leave you with radicals in the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\sqrt{2(x+h)+6}-\sqrt{2x+6}}{h}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{2(x+h)+6}+\sqrt{2x+6}}{\sqrt{2(x+h)+6}+\sqrt{2x+6}}\] \[=\frac{(2(x+h)+6)-(2x+6)}{h\left(\sqrt{2(x+h)+6}+\sqrt{2x+6}\right)}\]
