Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given expression is:
Step-by-step solution:
-
Factor out under the square roots: For large , both expressions inside the square roots are dominated by . Let's factor out of each square root:
\sqrt{2x^2 + 3} = \sqrt{x^2(2 + \frac{3}{x^2})} = |x| \sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} = x\sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} \quad \text{(for large xx > 0)}
-
Rewrite the limit: Now substitute these into the original limit expression: Factor out:
-
Apply the binomial expansion approximation: For large , use the binomial expansion for the square root, keeping only the first term (since and are very small):
-
Simplify the difference: Subtract the two approximations:
-
Take the limit: Now substitute this back into the limit expression:
