Math Problem Statement

Find the limit by simplifying the expression: lim(h -> 0) [(7 + 2h) - 7] / h

Solution

The problem you have uploaded is asking to find the limit:

limh0(7+2h)7h\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(7 + 2h) - 7}{h}

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Simplify the expression in the numerator: (7+2h)7=2h(7 + 2h) - 7 = 2h So the expression becomes: limh02hh\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2h}{h}

  2. Simplify the fraction: 2hh=2(as long as h0)\frac{2h}{h} = 2 \quad (\text{as long as } h \neq 0)

  3. Take the limit as h0h \to 0: limh02=2\lim_{h \to 0} 2 = 2

Thus, the limit is 2\boxed{2}.

  1. What are the conditions under which hh=1\frac{h}{h} = 1?
  2. How would the answer change if the expression in the numerator were (7+3h)7(7 + 3h) - 7?
  3. How does this limit relate to the concept of derivatives?
  4. What happens to the limit if we modify the expression to include h2h^2?
  5. Can L'Hôpital's Rule be applied here?

Tip: Always simplify the expression before taking the limit to avoid unnecessary complications.
