Evaluate the following limit: _ x 1 x-1 x^2+3 -2 - Vidyadip

Question

Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{{\text{x}-1}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}-2}$

✓

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{{\text{x}-1}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}-2}$$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{(\text{x}-1)\times\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}+2\big)}{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}-2\big)\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}+2\big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{(\text{x}-1)\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}+2\big)}{\big({\text{x}^2+3}-4\big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{(\text{x}-1)\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}+2\big)}{\big({\text{x}^2-1}\big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+3}+2}{{\text{x}}+1}$
Putting the value x = 1
$\Rightarrow\frac{\sqrt{1+3}+2}{1+1}$
$=\frac{2+2}{2}$
$=\frac{4}{2}=2$
