For a right triangle with legs legnth a and b and hyptonuse c
a²+b²=c²

ok, so side lengths (legs) re 5 and 6, find c or x (c=x=hypotonuse)

6²+5²=x²
36+25=x²
61=x²
sqrt both sides
√61=x

well, the equation would be a²+b²=c² or
$\sqrt{a^2+b^2} =c$

Answer:

f'(x) = $-\frac{9}{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

i) f(x) = 9 / x

ii) f'(x) = $$\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} $ \hspace{0.2cm}$

$= $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{\frac{9}{x+h} - \frac{9}{x} }{h} = \hspace{0.1cm} $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{9x - 9(x+h)}{hx(x+h)} $ \hspace{0.1cm} = \hspace{0.1cm}$\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{-9h}{hx(x+h)} = $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{-h}{x(x+h)} = \frac{-9}{x^2}$$
