Question
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{1+\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\text{x}}}$
✓

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{1+\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\text{x}}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}}{\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)}\times\frac{\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)}{\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)}{\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)^2}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)}{1+\text{x}-1+\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)}{2\text{x}}$
$=\frac12\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\text{x}}}{\text{x}}\Big)\text{x}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}{\big(\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\text{x}}\big)}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\big(\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{1}\big)$
$=\frac{1}{2}(1+1)=\frac22$
$=1$
