lim((sqrt(x+3)-2)/sqrt(x-1)),x->1

 

limx1(x+32x1)= ?

 

x+32x1=x+32x1(x+3+2x+3+2)(x1x1)=(x+34)(x1)(x1)(x+3+2)(x+32)(x+3+2)=(x+3)222=(x1)(x1)(x1)(x+3+2)=(x1)(x+3+2)limx1(x+32x1)=limx1(x1x+3+2)=111+3+2=04+2=02+2=04limx1(x+32x1)=0

Look at the graph.......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ibakfqzqrk

 

The limit doesn't exist.....unless we restrict it to a one-sided limit approaching 1 from the right......then......the limit = 0

 

 

cool cool cool
