Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{\sqrt{3+\text{x}}-\sqrt{5-\text{x}}}{\text{x}^2-1}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\frac{\big(\sqrt{3+\text{x}}-\sqrt{5-\text{x}}\big)}{\big(\text{x}^2-1\big)}\times\frac{\big(\sqrt{3+\text{x}}+\sqrt{5-\text{x}}\big)}{\big(\sqrt{3+\text{x}}+\sqrt{5-\text{x}}\big)}$

Question 1025 Marks
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\cos\text{x}-\sin\text{x}}{\big(\frac{\pi}{4}-\text{x}\big)^2}$
Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\cos\text{x}-\sin\text{x}}{\big(\frac{\pi}{4}-\text{x}\big)^2}$

As $\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{4},\frac\pi4-\text{x}\rightarrow0,$ let $\frac{\pi}{4}-\text{x}=\text{y}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\cos\big(\frac\pi4-\text{y}\big)-\sin\big(\frac\pi4-\text{y}\big)}{\text{y}^2}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\big[\cos\frac\pi4\cos\text{y}+\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\sin\text{y}+\sin\frac\pi4\cos\text{y}-\cos\frac\pi4\sin\text{y}\big]}{\text{y}^2}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\Big(\frac{\cos\text{y}}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\sin\text{y}}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\cos\text{y}}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{\sin\text{y}}{\sqrt{2}}\Big)}{\text{y}^2}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\frac{2\cos\text{y}}{\sqrt{2}}}{\text{y}^2}=\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}\cos\text{y}}{\text{y}^2}$

$=\sqrt{2}\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{(1-\cos\text{y})}{\text{y}^2}$

$=\sqrt{2}\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{2\sin^2\frac{\text{y}}{2}}{\frac{\text{y}^2}{4}}\times\frac14$

$=\sqrt{2}\times2\times\frac14\bigg(\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\frac{\text{y}}{2}}{\frac{\text{y}}{2}}\bigg)^2$

$=\sqrt{2}\times2\times\frac14\times1$

$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{3\sin^2\text{x}-2\sin\text{x}^2}{3\text{x}^2}$
Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{3\sin^2\text{x}-2\sin\text{x}^2}{3\text{x}^2}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{3\sin^2\text{x}-2\sin\text{x}^2}{3\text{x}^2}-\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin\text{x}^2}{3\text{x}^2}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\big(\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\big)^2-\frac{2}{3}\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\text{x}^2}{\text{x}^2}$

$=1-\frac{2}{3}\times1$ $\Big[\because\lim\limits_{\theta\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\theta}{\theta}=1\Big]$

$=1-\frac23$

$=\frac{3-2}{3}$

Question 1045 Marks
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}-64}{\text{x}^2-16}$
Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}-64}{\text{x}^2-16}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}-4^3}{\text{x}^2-4^2}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\frac{\text{x}^{3}-4^3}{\text{x}-4}}{\frac{\text{x}^2-4^2}{\text{x}-4}}$ [Dividing numerator and denominator by x - 4]

$=\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^3-4^3}{\text{x}-4}}{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^2-4}{\text{x}-4}}$

Applying formula $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$ in numerator and $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{m}}-\text{a}^{\text{m}}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{ma}^{\text{m}-1}$ in denominator

$\Rightarrow\text{n}=3,\text{m}=2$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^3-4^3}{\text{x}-4}}{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^2-4}{\text{x}-4}}=\frac{3(4)^{3-1}}{2(4)^{2-1}}=\frac{3(4)^2}{2(4)}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\big(2-\sqrt{\text{x}}\big)\big(2+\sqrt{\text{x}}\big)}{(4-\text{x})\big(2+\sqrt{\text{x}}\big)}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{(2)^2-\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}\big)^2}{(4-\text{x})\big(2+\sqrt{\text{x}}\big)}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{(4-\text{x})}{(4-\text{x})\big(2+\sqrt{\text{x}}\big)}$

Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\sin\sqrt{\text{x}}-\sin\sqrt{\text{a}}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}$

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

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}-\sqrt{\sin\text{x}}}{\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{4}}$
Answer
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}-\sqrt{\sin\text{x}}}{\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{4}}$

As $\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{4}\Rightarrow\text{x}-\frac\pi4\rightarrow0\Rightarrow$let $\text{x}-\frac\pi4=\text{y}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow0}\frac{\Big(\cos\big(\frac\pi4+\text{y}\big)-\sin\big(\frac\pi4+\text{y}\big)\Big)}{\text{y}\Big(\sqrt{\cos\big(\frac\pi4+\text{y}\big)}+\Big(\sqrt{\sin\big(\frac\pi4+\text{y}\big)}\Big)}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow0}\frac{\big(\cos\frac\pi4\cos\text{y}-\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\sin\text{y}\big)-\big(\sin\frac\pi4\cos\text{y}-\cos\frac{\pi}{4}\sin\text{y}\big)}{\text{y}\Big(\sqrt{\cos\big(\frac\pi4+\text{y}\big)}+\Big(\sqrt{\sin\big(\frac\pi4+\text{y}\big)}\Big)}$

$=-\sqrt{2}\Big(\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\text{y}}{\text{y}}\Big)\times\frac{1}{\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow0}\sqrt{\cos\big(\text{y}+\frac\pi4}\big)+\lim\limits_{\text{y}\rightarrow0}\sqrt{\sin\big(\text{y}+\frac{\pi}{4}\big)}}$

$=-\sqrt{2}\times1\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{\cos\frac{\pi}{4}}+\sqrt{\sin\frac\pi4}}$

$=-\sqrt{2}\times\frac{1}{\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}+\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$ $\Big[\because\cos\frac\pi4=\sin\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big]$

$=\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}+(1+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

Question 1135 Marks
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-3^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{3}}=108,$ find the value of n.
Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-3^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{3}}=108$

$\text{L.H.S}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{3}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-3^{\text{n}}}{\text{x}-3}$

Applying the formula $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$

Here, n = n, a = 3

$\Rightarrow{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{3}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-3^\text{n}}{\text{x}-3}=\text{n}(3)^{\text{n}-1}$

It is given that $\text{n}(3)^{\text{n}-1}=108$

$\Rightarrow\text{n}(3)^{\text{n}-1}=2\times2\times3\times3\times3$

$=(2)^2\times(3)^3$

$=4(3)^{4-1}$

Question 1225 Marks
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{\text{x}^2-\text{x}-6}{\text{x}^3+3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3}$
Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{\text{x}^2-\text{x}-6}{\text{x}^3+3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3}$

Now $\text{x}^2-\text{x}-6$

$=\text{x}^2-3\text{x}+2\text{x}-6$

$=\text{x}(\text{x}-3)+2(\text{x}-3)$

$=(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}-3)\ \cdots(\text{i})$

Dividing $\text{x}^3-3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3\text{ by }(\text{x}-3), \text{ we get}$ 

Thus (x - 3) is a factor of $\text{x}^3-3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3\ \cdots(\text{ii})$

Substituting (i) and (ii) in the given expression

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}-3)}{\big(\text{x}^2+1\big)(\text{x}-3)}$

$=\frac{\text{x}+2}{\text{x}^2+1}=\frac{3+2}{9+1}=\frac{5}{10}$

$=\frac12$

Question 1245 Marks
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}+1}{\text{x}+1}$
Answer
 $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}+1}{\text{x}+1}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^3-(-1)^3}{\text{x}-(-1)}$ [Dividing numerator and denominator by x - 1]

Applying formula $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$

Here, n = 3, a = -1

$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow-1}\frac{\text{x}^3-(-1)^3}{\text{x}-(-1)}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$

$=3(-1)^{3-1}$

$=3(-1)^2$
