Answer:

\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = \sqrt{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}

f(x+h) = \sqrt{x+h} = (x+h)^{\frac{1}{2}}

We use binomial expansion for (x+h)^{\frac{1}{2}}

This can be rewritten as

[x(1+\dfrac{h}{x})]^{\frac{1}{2}}

x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}

From the expansion

(1+x)^n=1+nx+\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2!}+\ldots

Setting x=\dfrac{h}{x} and n=\frac{1}{2},

(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+(\dfrac{h}{x})(\dfrac{1}{2})+\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{1}{2})}{2!}(\dfrac{h}{x})^2+\tldots

=1+\dfrac{h}{2x}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^2}+\ldots

Multiplying by x^{\frac{1}{2}},

x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}+\dfrac{h}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots

x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}-x^{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{h}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots

\dfrac{x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}-x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{h}=\dfrac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots

The limit of this as h\to 0 is

\lim_{h\to0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\dfrac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} (since all the other terms involve h and vanish to 0.)

What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation? 2x 2 - 2x - 1 = 0
Orlov [11]
For you to make an equation a quadratic equation, you need everything to be on one side, so you add one to both sides. 

<span>2x^2 + 3x + 0=0 </span>

<span>a=2, b=3, c=0 </span>

<span>b^2-4ac (In the next step just plug in your variables) </span>

<span>3^2 - 4(2)(0) </span>

<span>9 - 8(0) </span>

<span>9 - 0 </span>

<span>Your answer=9</span>

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

f(-2.75)=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given a Greatest Integer Function . The characteristic of this function is that it when operated , gives you the greatest integer it has near to it.

Hence if we have any greatest integer function f(x)=[x] , for x = -2.75

[-2.75]=-2 , as -the greatest integer near to -2.75 is -2 as -3<-2

Now coming back to our problem, our function is

f(x)=[x]+1

Hence for x=-2.75

f(x)=[-2.75]+1

as we discussed above [-2.75]=-2

Hence

f(-2.75)=-2+1

f(-2.75)=-1
