You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please help me expand the binomial in the difference quotient and simplify. I was given: f(x+h) - f(x) divided by h.
the question in concern is f(x)=square root of x
---------------------------------------------
f(x+h) = sqrt(x+h)
f(x) = sqrt(x)
-------------------------
f(x+h)-f(x) = sqrt(x+h)-sqrt(x)
-------------------------
Finally: [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h
