Evaluate the following limit: _ x a x -a x - a - Vidyadip

Question

Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{{\text{x}}-\text{a}}{\sqrt{\text{x}}-\sqrt{\text{a}}}$

✓

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{{\text{x}}-\text{a}}{\sqrt{\text{x}}-\sqrt{\text{a}}}$$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{({\text{x}}-\text{a})\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}+\sqrt{\text{a}}\big)}{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}-\sqrt{\text{a}}\big)\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}+\sqrt{\text{a}}\big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{(\text{x}-\text{a})-\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}+\sqrt{\text{a}}\big)}{(\text{x}-\text{a})}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}+\sqrt{\text{a}}\big)$
$=2\sqrt{\text{a}}$
