OpenStudy (anonymous):

what problem do you need help on

OpenStudy (sgayton27):

\[\frac{ \sqrt{x}-\sqrt{x-h} }{ h \sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+h} }\]

OpenStudy (sgayton27):

Rationalize the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what grade are you in

OpenStudy (sgayton27):

I get -h for the numerator, not sure how to do the denominator because when I leave it how it is its not correct. This is what I get \[\frac{ -h }{ h \sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+h}(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+h} )}\]

OpenStudy (sgayton27):

after multiplying the top and bottom by the reciprocal if thats even correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well you have the first park done so wait can you tell me if its multiple choice what the answers are

OpenStudy (sgayton27):
