Question

(1/(x+h))-(1/x)

Answer 1

what are you solvinng for
x or h

Answer 2

it just says to simplify

Answer 3

1/(x + h) - 1/x]/h.

By multiplying the numerator and denominator by x(x + h):
[1/(x + h) - 1/x]/h
= {x(x + h) * [1/(x + h) - 1/x]}/[hx(x + h)]
= [x - (x + h)]/[hx(x + h)]
= (x - x - h)/[hx(x + h)]
= -h/[hx(x + h)]
= -1/[x(x + h)].

Answer 4

make sense??

Answer 5

the whole equation isn't divided by h. in step two what did you do? i Know you multiply by x(x+h) to find like denominators but you kinda lost me

Answer 6

When i multiply the numerator and denominator by (x)(x+h) I get (x-(x+h))/x(x+h). after i simplify i get -h/x(x+h) as my answer. is that right??

Answer 7

yes i believe so
