If g (x) = 1/x then [g (x+h) - g (x)] /h

Answer:

\dfrac{-1}{x(x+h)}, h\ne 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If g(x) = \dfrac{1}{x}, then g(x+h) = \dfrac{1}{x+h}. It follows that

  \begin{aligned} \\\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} &= \frac{1}{h} \cdot [g(x+h) - g(x)] \\&= \frac{1}{h} \left( \frac{1}{x+h} - \frac{1}{x} \right)\end{aligned}

Technically we are done, but some more simplification can be made. We can get a common denominator between 1/(x+h) and 1/x.

  \begin{aligned} \\\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} &= \frac{1}{h} \left( \frac{1}{x+h} - \frac{1}{x} \right)\\&=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{x}{x(x+h)} - \frac{x+h}{x(x+h)} \right) \\ &=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{x-(x+h)}{x(x+h)}\right) \\ &=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{x-x-h}{x(x+h)}\right) \\ &=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{-h}{x(x+h)}\right) \end{aligned}

Now we can cancel the h in the numerator and denominator under the assumption that h is not 0.

  = \dfrac{-1}{x(x+h)}, h\ne 0

Plz answer all SHOW WORK

Okay, so if it leaks out a pint every hour, and a gallon is 8 pints, it will take 8 hours to leak out 1 gallon. Since there are 24 hours in a day, it would leak out 3 gallons every day. Now, assuming the month we are talking about is 31 days, then we multiply 31 with 3, giving us 93 gallons in a month. 
Do you need help with the third too?
