Sum

Solution

Given that `lim_(h -> 0) (sqrt(x + h) - sqrt(x))/h`

= `lim_(h -> 0) (sqrt(x + h) - sqrt(x))/(h[sqrt(x + h) + sqrt(x)]) xx sqrt(x + h) + sqrt(x)`   ....[Rationalizing the denominator]

= `lim_(h -> 0) (x + h - x)/(h[sqrt(x + h) + sqrt(x)]`

= `lim_(h -> 0) h/(h[sqrt(x + h) + sqrt(x)]`

= `lim_(h -> 0) 1/(sqrt(x + h) + sqrt(x))`

Taking the limits, we have

`1/(sqrt(x) + sqrt(x)) = 1/(2sqrt(x))`
