expressions are missing.....

OpenStudy (chris215):

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

alright, thanks @chris215 its asking 4 a definition so u should be able to look it up....BUT which one u THINK is the right ans? :)

OpenStudy (chris215):

I think A

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

hmmm....u may want to think about that again @chris215

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

remember derivative will give u the slope of a function so its definition should be similar to the slope between two points.

OpenStudy (chris215):

1/2sqrt(x)is the derivative but idk what to do next

OpenStudy (freckles):

superdave said the definition of derivative has something to do with slope do you remember how to find the slope of a line given two points?

OpenStudy (freckles):

Pretend we have a lint going through the points (3+h,sqrt(3+h)) and (3,sqrt(3)) what would the formula look like for slope after pluggin those points

OpenStudy (freckles):

line*

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

ty @freckles :)

OpenStudy (freckles):

not lint gosh :p

OpenStudy (chris215):

sqrt(3) - sqrt(3+h) / 3 - 3+h

OpenStudy (chris215):

so b?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

that is correct. good job, @chris215 :)

OpenStudy (chris215):

thanks so much!
