so for lim h->0, Lim ((1+h)^10 -1)/h = {10*h+[10(10-1)/2!]h^2..}/h = 10 + [10(10-1)/2!]h + [10(10-1)(10-2)/3!]h^2 … h^9

therefore when h->0, the limit of this function tends to 10

-> 10+[10(10-1)/2!]*0 + [10(10-1)(10-2)/3!]*0^2….0^9

-> 10

2) if h is approaching zero, is it approaching from the negative or from the positive?

If from the neg., your answer will be neg.. If from the pos., your answer will be pos.. I’m not sure if the answer is zero, neg. infinity or pos. infinity. I’d have to plug in some very small numbers to find out for sure.

Never mind. I’m not sure if I was any help. Sorry.
