Question

\[\lim_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}\]

Solution

\[\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \right)\] 

It is of the form ∞–​​∞.

On rationalising, we get: 

\[\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \right) \times \left( \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} \right)\]
\[ = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{x + 1 - x}{\left( \sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x} \right)} \right)\]
\[ = \frac{1}{\infty}\]
\[ = 0\]
