Homework Statement



What is the name of the following very small unit?

{f}'(x) h

The Attempt at a Solution



I know the name in Finnish "Differentiaalikehitelma", but not in English.
However, I have not managed to find help about the method which my professor says is very important.

My suggestion for the name is "generation of differential constant".
However, I have not managed to find any help concerning the unit.

I think what you're talking about is
df = \frac{df}{dx}dx= f'(x) dx.​
If that is what you're talking about, then we'd call a "differential form".

Your equation makes sense.
What is the name of it?

The differential of f.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
