Solution

`lim_(x -> "a")((z + 2)^(3/2) - ("a" + 2)^(3/2))/(z - "a")`

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 - 2) - ("b" - 2))`

= `lim_(y -> "b") (y^(3/2) - "b"^(3/2))/(y - "b")`

= `3/2*"b"^(1/2)     ...[because  lim_(x -> "a") (x^"n" - "a"^"n")/(x - "a") = "na"^("n" - 1)]`

= `3/2("a" + 2)^(1/2)`        ...[∵ b = a + 2]
