: 1 over(x+h)^2 minus 1 over x^2 all this over h. I have the solutions manual but I don't now how they got x^2-(x+h)^2 for the numerator after mult. by LCD. What happened to the 1's in the original numerator? Thank you! Jackie This question is from textbook Coll. Alg. Graphing Approach

It may help to write this in a different format:
DIVIDED BY


Now, you have to get the common denominator before you can subtract the first two fractions:
