Question
Evaluate the following limits:
`lim_(x -> 2) (2 - sqrt(x + 2))/(root(3)(2) - root(3)(4 - x))`
Advertisements
Solution
`lim_(x -> 2) (2 - sqrt(x + 2))/(root(3)(2) - root(3)(4 - x)) = lim_(x -> 2) (sqrt(x + 2) - 2)/(root(3)(4 - x) - root(3)(2))`
= `lim_(x -> 2) ((x + 2)^(1/2) - (2^2)^(1/2))/((4 - x)^(1/3) - (2)^(1/3))`
= `lim_(x -> 2) ((x + 2)^(1/2) - (2)^(1/2))/(x - 2) xx (x - 2)/((4 - x)^(1/3) - (2)^(1/3))`
= `lim_(x -> 2) ((x + 2)^(1/2) - (4)^(1/2))/((x + 2) - 4) xx (-[(4 - x) - 2])/((4 - x)^(1/3) - (2)^(1/3)]`
= `lim_(x -> 2) ((x + 2)^(1/2)- (4)^(1/2))/((x + 2) - 4) xx - 1/(lim_(x -> 2) ((4 - x)^(1/3) - (2)^(1/3))/((4 - x) - 2)`
`lim_(x -> "a") (x^"n" - "a"^"n") = "na"^("n" - 1)`
= `1/2(4)^(1/2 - 1) xx - 1/(1/3 (2)^(1/3 - 1)`
= `1/2(4)^(-1/2) xx - 3/((2)^(-2/3)`
= `1/(2(2^2)^(1/2)) xx - 3 xx 2^(2/3)`
= `- 1/(2 xx 2) xx 3 xx 2^(2/3)`
= ` - 3/4 xx (2^2)^(1/3)`
`lim_(x -> 2) (2 - sqrt(x + 2))/(root(3)(2) - root(3)(4 - x)) = - 3/4 root(3)(4)`
