Solution
\[\lim_{x \to a} = \left[ \frac{\left( x + 2 \right)^\frac{3}{2} - \left( a + 2 \right)^\frac{3}{2}}{x - a} \right]\]
\[ = \lim_{x \to a} \left[ \frac{\left( x + 2 \right)^\frac{3}{2} - \left( a + 2 \right)^\frac{3}{2}}{\left( x + 2 \right) - \left( a + 2 \right)} \right]\]
Let y = x + 2 and b = a + 2.
When x → a and x + 2 → a + 2.
\[\lim_{y \to b} \left[ \frac{y^\frac{3}{2} - b^\frac{3}{2}}{y - b} \right]\]
\[ = \frac{3}{2} \left( b \right)^\frac{3}{2} - 1 \]
\[ = \frac{3}{2} b^\frac{1}{2} \]
\[ = \frac{3}{2} \left( a + 2 \right)^\frac{1}{2}\]
