Solution
\[\lim_{x \to 7} \left[ \frac{4 - \sqrt{9 + x}}{1 - \sqrt{8 - x}} \right]\] It is of the form \[\frac{0}{0}\]
Rationalising the numerator and the denominator:
\[\lim_{x \to 7} \left[ \frac{\left( 4 - \sqrt{9 + x} \right)}{1} \times \frac{\left( 4 + \sqrt{9 + x} \right)}{\left( 4 + \sqrt{9 + x} \right)} \times \frac{1}{\left( 1 - \sqrt{8 - x} \right)} \times \frac{\left( 1 + \sqrt{8 - x} \right)}{\left( 1 + \sqrt{8 - x} \right)} \right]\]
= \[\lim_{x \to 7} \left[ \frac{16 - \left( 9 + x \right)}{\left( 4 + \sqrt{9 + x} \right)} \times \frac{\left( 1 + \sqrt{8 - x} \right)}{1 - \left( 8 - x \right)} \right]\]
= \[\lim_{x \to 7} \left[ \frac{- 1\left( - 7 + x \right)\left( 1 + \sqrt{8 - x} \right)}{\left( 4 + \sqrt{9 + x} \right)\left( - 7 + x \right)} \right]\]
= \[\lim_{x \to 7} \left[ \frac{- \left( 1 + \sqrt{8 - x} \right)}{4 + \sqrt{9 + x}} \right]\]
= \[- \left( \frac{1 + \sqrt{8 - 7}}{4 + \sqrt{9 + 7}} \right)\]
= \[\frac{- 2}{4 + 4}\]
= \[\frac{- 1}{4}\]
