Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's work through this limit step by step:
We are tasked with finding:
Step 1: Factor out from the square roots
For large values of , the highest power of dominates, so we can factor out from under the square roots to simplify.
In the numerator:
In the denominator:
Step 2: Simplify the expression
Now substitute these back into the original expression: Since the 's cancel out:
Step 3: Evaluate the limit as
As approaches infinity, all terms involving or higher powers of tend to zero. Therefore, the expression simplifies to:
Step 4: Apply L'Hopital's Rule
Since the limit results in the indeterminate form , we can apply L'Hopital's Rule, which involves differentiating the numerator and denominator with respect to .
Let me perform the differentiation.After applying L'Hopital's Rule, the limit evaluates to:
This is the final result.
