\(\displaystyle \sqrt{x+3} - 2 * \sqrt{x+4} + \sqrt{x+5}\)
I'd try "rationalizing the numerator", that is, multiplying and dividing the expression by its conjugate, [MATH]\sqrt{x+3}+\sqrt{x+5}+2\sqrt{x+4}[/MATH]. I hope you see why I chose that particular term to change the sign of.
Can you please show your method?\(\displaystyle \sqrt{x+3} - 2 * \sqrt{x+4} + \sqrt{x+5}\)
Factor out √x and continue.....
You mean you do not know how to continue??!!Can you please show your method?
No, not with your methodYou mean you do not know how to continue??!!
I would suggest this rationalization;
in my 1st yr. calculus Calculus, I was taught Taylor's series! Think a bit and you will see the light. May be your daughter can teach you that one or Google it!!No, not with your method. My first thought was to multiply by conjugates.
I asked my 10th grade daughter what is infinity - 2*inf + inf expecting her to say 0 but instead she replied inf is not a number so you can't add or subtract them. Thankfully she did not get her math ability from me.
Yes, but these type of limits come before Taylor's series.in my 1st yr. calculus Calculus, I was taught Taylor's series! Think a bit and you will see the light. May be your daughter can teach you that one or Google it!!
so you know how to get the answer??Yes, but these type of limits come before Taylor's series.
