Math Problem Statement
limit of [{x-√(2-x^2)} / {2x-√(2+2x^)}]
Solution
To evaluate the limit
we’ll start by directly substituting into the expression to see if it results in an indeterminate form:
-
Substitute :
Simplifying inside the square roots:
This results in the indeterminate form , so we need to manipulate the expression further to evaluate the limit.
-
Rationalize the numerator and denominator:
To resolve the indeterminate form, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate expressions of each part.
Rationalize the numerator: Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of , which is :
This simplifies the numerator to:
Therefore, the expression becomes:
Notice that , so we can rewrite it as:
-
Simplify the expression and apply the limit:
We can now proceed by further rationalizing the denominator in a similar manner if necessary.
