Agreed, h cannot be 0. However, when you're dealing with a limit, h is an infinitely small number approaching zero. In that case, 2(h) is negligible and doesn't need to be included in the derivative.
I'm on my phone so Katex is gonna be annoying, bear with me :P
Let's take x^2 as an example, the derivative of that is obviously 2x.
If we use the first principle of derivatives to actually calculate the derivative, we'd get
lim(h -> 0) (2xh + h^2)/h
which gives you
lim(h->0) 2x + h
And so you treat h as 0 which gives you f'(x) = 2x.
My whole point is that the h is such a small negligible number (funnily enough there's no smallest positive/negative number) and so we treat it as 0.
Good I'll pop onto my srl skype more soon...
Yeah... but tbh I was meant to mention @hoodz which is a bit awkward now...
But gz on SSRL
You are.. doing them correct..
This IS the correct answer. h can be 0 or whatever the limit is.. When you get rid of all on the bottom, you are allowed to substitute the limit for h. You are then left with the solution you have above.
Just because it is a limit, does not mean that it has to be close as possible without actually being.. So you are right.
Can even try it in wolframalpha.
Example of the derivative formula being used and h being eliminated by substitution of the limit: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Class...erivative.aspx

@core; After some testing I don't think it's a css conflict, might just be some javascript. Could prob be fixed by moving katex css and js to the end of the page.
Heh, it was stolen from my katex example that I showed core. http://dgby.org/katex-test/

That would require modifying templates instead of isolating all of the changes within the confines of BBcode. Changing templates is annoying, as well as keeping those changes synced across all templates and with any updates that might happen to the BBcode would be too much of an extra maintenance burden and isn't feasible.
If you can find a way to fix this issue, I'm all ears; but whatever changes will likely need to be colocated in the BBcode functionality.

Wow that is a pretty awesome tag to have It uses similar notation as a Javascript library I used in one of my Android apps to display Math questions (jqMath). It seems that Katex does server side rendering though and one of the main reason I used jqMath was to require no internet connection at all.
