Explanation Given: The radical p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 . Explanation: Multiply the expression by 1: p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 = p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 ⋅ 1 Rewrite 1 as follows and use the algebraic identities ( a + b ) ⋅ ( a − b ) = a 2 − b 2 and ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b : p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 ⋅ 1 = p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 ⋅ p + p 2 − 1 p + p 2 − 1 = ( p + p 2 − 1 ) ( p <

Percentage

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Addition

Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Consider the function f(x) = x²-1. (a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x=1 using the definition of the derivative. Show all your steps clearly. (b) Sketch the graph of f(x) around x = 1. Draw the secant line passing through the points on the graph where x 1 and x-> 1+h (for a small positive value of h, illustrate conceptually). Then, draw the tangent line to the graph at x=1. Explain how the slope of the tangent line relates to the value you found in part (a). (c) In a few sentences, explain what the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 represents in the context of the graph of f(x). How does the rate of change of this function vary at different points?
