I can half-see it, but still can't. I know after that, I can do the conjugate to get the final answer of simplification. But it's from the two functions I couldn't get it. So f(x) gets the 1/sqr(x-1) into it, but what about f(2) ? I don't get that, at all.

Difference Quotient much?

Edit: lol I'll explain hold on

Apply the slope formula to your function f(x) as though it is y(x)

Then... (note below Mikeymoo already has it and is correct)

No, he wasn't seeing how if you plug 2 into the function and then plug it into the slope formula you get that result.

He was just bm in my blog so the karma explanations works, but let's not be ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with learning this in, say, 12th grade and getting a bit confused; especially if math isn't your thing.

Ok you are right. The whole point of the blog was to be bm so I really shouldn't complain.
