Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains the following limit problem:
Solution:
-
Factor the numerator: We first need to factor . Notice that:
However, this doesn't seem to simplify in a helpful way for this particular limit. Another strategy is using L'Hopital's Rule, since directly substituting results in the indeterminate form .
-
Apply L'Hopital's Rule: L'Hopital's Rule states that if we get an indeterminate form , we can take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator.
- Derivative of the numerator :
- Derivative of the denominator :
-
Evaluate the limit: Now, using L'Hopital's Rule, we take the limit of the derivatives:
Thus, the solution to the limit is:
