Question

\[\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{2 - x} - \sqrt{2 + x}}{x}\]

Solution

\[\lim_{x \to 0} \left[ \frac{\sqrt{2 - x} - \sqrt{2 + x}}{x} \right]\] It is of the form  \[\frac{0}{0}\]

Rationalising the numerator: 

\[\lim_{x \to 0} \left[ \frac{\left( \sqrt{2 - x} - \sqrt{2 + x} \right)\left( \sqrt{2 - x} + \sqrt{2 + x} \right)}{x\left( \sqrt{2 - x} + \sqrt{2 + x} \right)} \right]\]

= \[\lim_{x \to 0} \left[ \frac{\left( 2 - x \right) - \left( 2 + x \right)}{x\left( \sqrt{2 - x} + \sqrt{2 + x} \right)} \right]\] 

= \[\lim_{x \to 0} \left[ \frac{- 2x}{x\left( \sqrt{2 - x} + \sqrt{2 + x} \right)} \right]\] 

= \[\frac{- 2}{2\sqrt{2}}\] 

=  \[- \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
