((1/(x+h))-(1/x))/h the limit as h -> 0 how can i go about solving this

OpenStudy (amistre64):

find a common denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+h) for the top part

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x(x+h) is a common denominator for the top

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac1a+\frac1b=\frac{b+a}{ab}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So x+(x+h)/x(x+h)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x - (x+h) but yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And all of that over h right.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should the limit be a number without any variables?
