Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression in the image asks to evaluate the following limit:
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Consider the limit as :
- As , . Therefore, the expression inside the square root becomes: However, the full expression involves , which seems to approach as grows larger.
-
Apply an approximation: For large values of , we can expand the square root using a binomial expansion around being small:
-
Substitute the approximation: Now substitute this back into the original expression:
-
Simplify:
Thus, the value of the limit is:
