slove all the limits

Solution

The document contains a set of problems related to limits from a tutorial. I will solve a few of these limits step-by-step:

1. (a) limh04+h2h\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{4+h} - 2}{h}

To solve this, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate:

4+h2h4+h+24+h+2=(4+h)4h(4+h+2)=hh(4+h+2)=14+h+2\frac{\sqrt{4+h} - 2}{h} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{4+h} + 2}{\sqrt{4+h} + 2} = \frac{(4+h) - 4}{h(\sqrt{4+h} + 2)} = \frac{h}{h(\sqrt{4+h} + 2)} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4+h} + 2}

Now, take the limit as h0h \to 0:

limh014+0+2=12+2=14\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{4+0} + 2} = \frac{1}{2 + 2} = \frac{1}{4}

So, the limit is 14\frac{1}{4}.

1. (b) limh0h22hh\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h^2 - 2h}{h}

Simplify the expression:

h22hh=h2\frac{h^2 - 2h}{h} = h - 2

Now, take the limit as h0h \to 0:

limh0(h2)=02=2\lim_{h \to 0} (h - 2) = 0 - 2 = -2

So, the limit is 2-2.

1. (c) limh0(1h2)(1+2h)3h2\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(1-h^2) - (1+2h)}{3-h^2}

Simplify the numerator:

(1h2)(1+2h)=1h212h=h22h(1-h^2) - (1+2h) = 1 - h^2 - 1 - 2h = -h^2 - 2h

The expression becomes:

limh0h22h3h2\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-h^2 - 2h}{3 - h^2}

As h0h \to 0, the numerator becomes 0 and the denominator becomes 3:

limh003=0\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{0}{3} = 0

So, the limit is 0.

1. (d) limh0(x+h)2x2h\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^2 - x^2}{h}

This is the definition of the derivative of x2x^2 at any point xx. Expand the numerator:

(x+h)2x2=x2+2xh+h2x2=2xh+h2(x+h)^2 - x^2 = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - x^2 = 2xh + h^2

Now, the expression becomes:

2xh+h2h=2x+h\frac{2xh + h^2}{h} = 2x + h

Take the limit as h0h \to 0:

limh0(2x+h)=2x+0=2x\lim_{h \to 0} (2x + h) = 2x + 0 = 2x

So, the limit is 2x2x.

Tip: When solving limits, always check if a limit represents the derivative of a function at a point. It can greatly simplify the problem.
