Hi all, more questions from a newbie reviewing calculus:
If F(x)=sqrt(x), then
F(x+h) =sqrt(x+h) and
(F(x+h) -F(x))/h = (sqrt(x+h) -sqrt(x))/h.
To set the numerator to 1 we multiply thru by
sqrt(x+h) + sqrt(x)/((sqrt(x+h) +sqrt(x))
this yields
1/(sqrt(x+h) + sqrt(x)).
My question is this. How do I ask Maxima to set the numerator to a specific
value, in this case 1?
