Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit. Characteristics central to capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system, and competitive markets.
f(x) = (x+1)^1/2. Hi Carla, The derivative of $f(x)$ is the limit, as $h$ approaches zero of the difference quotient. \[\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h}.\]. For your function this difference quotient is. \[\frac{(x + h + 1)^{1/2} - (x + 1)^{1/2}}{h}.\]. If you multiply the numerator and denominator by $(x + h + 1)^{1/2} + (x + 1)^{1/2}$ and simplify you will arrive at an expression that can be evaluated as $h$ approaches zero.
If we say the limit of 2x as x approaches 2 is 4, then epsilon = 2(delta) and delta = epsilon / 2; it doesn't matter which one we define first. Suppose you could find an epsilon such that you can not get that close to L, no matter what you picked for x! I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding this.
