![[image loading]](http://i30.tinypic.com/9qv6n8.jpg) 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.   | ||

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) | ||

f(2) is 1/sqrt(2-1) 1/1 1 | ||

you plug in 2 for x into the f(x) equation and the answer is 1 am i missing something here | ||

There's nothing wrong with learning this in, say, 12th grade and getting a bit confused; especially if math isn't your thing. | ||

I see how f(2) changed to a 1, but I can't finish the problem to get the final answer. Can someone finish it? | ||

You plug f(x) as what f(x) is defined as, then you - f(2) Which is one. So now you have f(x)-1/(x-2) Hope that makes sense. | ||

You gotta do the conjugate when you get: (1 - sqrt. (x - 1)) / (x-2) sqrt. (x-1) * (1 + sqrt. (x - 1)) / (1 + sqrt. (x - 1)), you can solve from there, it's easy from that. It's messy though. I have a hard time visualizing it, I just write the numbers out on paper. | ||
