Question
Evaluate the following limit :
`lim_(z -> "a")[((z + 2)^(3/2) - ("a" + 2)^(3/2))/(z - "a")]`
Advertisements
Solution
`lim_(z -> "a")[((z + 2)^(3/2) - ("a" + 2)^(3/2))/(z - "a")]`
= `lim_(z -> "a") (("z" + 2)^(3/2) - ("a" + 2)^(3/2))/((z + 2) - ("a" + 2))`
Put z + 2 = y and a + 2 = b
As z → a, z + 2 → a + 2
i.e. y → b
∴ `lim_(z -> "a") ((z + 2)^(3/2) - ("a" + 2)^(3/2))/(z - "a")`
= `lim_(y -> "b") (y^(3/2) - "b"^(3/2))/(y - "b")`
= `3/2* "b"^(1/2) ...[because lim_(z -> "a") (x^"n" - "a"^"n")/(x - "a") = "na"^("n" - 1)]`
= `3/2 sqrt("a" + 2)` ...[∵ b = a + 2]
