Practicing Success
The value of $\underset{x→1}{\lim}\frac{\sqrt[3]{7+x^2}-\sqrt{3+x^2}}{x-1}$ is: |
$-\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{3}{2}$ $-\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ |
$-\frac{1}{3}$ |
$\underset{x→1}{\lim}\frac{\sqrt[3]{7+x^2}-\sqrt{3+x^2}}{x-1}$ It is an indeterminate $\frac{0}{0}$ form. On applying L'Hospital's rule, we get : $\underset{x→1}{\lim}\frac{\frac{1}{3}(7+x^2)^{-2/3}.2x-\frac{1}{2}(3+x^2)^{-1/2}.2x}{1-0}$ $=\frac{1}{3}(8)^{-2/3}.2-\frac{2}{2}(4)^{-1/2}=\frac{2}{3}(2)^{-2}-\frac{2}{2}^{-1}=\frac{2}{3}[\frac{1}{4}]-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-1}{3}$ |
