hi

OpenStudy (loser66):

I m not good at limit. @amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how to do limits but I dont get the delta x part

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the change in x, suppose x = b-a, x approaches 0 as a approaches b

OpenStudy (amistre64):

jsut consider delta x to be some variable ... h is a usual change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I think I see what you are saying so now we have to have 2 equations because there are 2 varibles

OpenStudy (amistre64):

in essense the question is asking: what is the derivative of sqrt(x-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh how did you get to that im just curious? i have another problem like it to do

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a good approach if you dont know the derivative is to apply the conjugate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know derivatives and indefinite and definite integral I just learned it and got 100% on my unit test :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{\sqrt b-\sqrt a}{h}\] \[\frac{\sqrt b-\sqrt a}{h}\frac{\sqrt b+\sqrt a}{\sqrt b+\sqrt a}\] \[\frac{b-a}{h(\sqrt b+\sqrt a)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so for this one here the answer would be none of the above though correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becase the asmptotes are not on -2 it cant go to infinity

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you might want to show me how you approached that conclusion, its not the same one i get

OpenStudy (amistre64):

oh, a different question lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I solved the second one by graphing

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x(x-1) ------ (x-2) yeah, its a vertical asymptote since nothing cancels. The question is, how does it play out as x approached 2 from the negative side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh the calculation is at 2 from the left not -2 silly me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be infinity
