Answer

$\frac{1}{32}$

Work Step by Step

$\lim\limits_{h \to 0}\frac{\sqrt[4] {16+h}-2}{h}$ This is an expression for the derivative of $f(x) = x^{1/4}$ evaluated at the point $x = 16$ We can evaluate the derivative: $f(x) = x^{1/4}$ $f'(x) = \frac{1}{4x^{3/4}}$ $f'(16) = \frac{1}{4(16)^{3/4}}$ $f'(16) = \frac{1}{4(8)}$ $f'(16) = \frac{1}{32}$
