Makes sense, thanks.

I'm having some trouble with a few problems involving derivatives and rates. Here's one of the ones that is confusing me: A waterskier skis over the ramp shown in the figure at a speed of 30ft/s. How fast is she rising as she leaves the ramp? The ramp is a right triangle facing the...

We haven't gone into differentiation or anything like that, is there another way? Actually, the problem that I'm trying to figure out is lim x -> 0 of the expression above. edit: For clarification - it's not for homework, it's just a problem I'm trying to figure out.

Technically this is a calculus problem I'm working on, but I'm just having problems with the Algebra portion. If I have: (\frac{1}{x\sqrt{1+x}} - \frac{1}{x}) How can I simply this so that I can substitute in 0 for x?

Nevermind, I found my mistake.. I've been trying to figure this problem out for some time now, and I can't seem to get it right: You are given an unknown hydrated metal salt containing bromide ion, MBr_2 \bullet nH_2O (M and n being variables). You dissolve 0.500g of this salt...
