Question

Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator square root of x minus 2 over denominator x minus 4 end fraction

  1. 1 fourth
  2. 1 half
  3. 2
  4. 4

hintHint:

We can apply L'Hopital's rule, also commonly spelled L'Hospital's rule, whenever direct substitution of a limit yields an indeterminate form. This means that the limit of a quotient of functions (i.e., an algebraic fraction) is equal to the limit of their derivatives.
In this question, we have to find value of Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator square root of x minus 2 over denominator x minus 4 end fraction.

The correct answer is: 1 fourth


    Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator square root of x minus 2 over denominator x minus 4 end fraction
    We first try substitution:
    Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator square root of x minus 2 over denominator x minus 4 end fraction = Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator square root of 4 minus 2 over denominator 4 minus 4 end fraction = 0 over 0 ( L'Hopital's Rule for zero over zero.)
    Since the limit is in the form 0 over 0, it is indeterminate we don’t yet know what is it. We need to do some work to put it in a form where we can determine the limit.
    Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator x to the power of begin display style 1 divided by 2 end style end exponent minus 4 to the power of 1 divided by 2 end exponent over denominator x minus 4 end fraction        ( Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator x to the power of n minus a to the power of n over denominator x minus a end fraction space equals space n a to the power of n minus 1 end exponent  )
    We can write simply,
    Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 4 end subscript space fraction numerator x to the power of begin display style 1 divided by 2 end style end exponent minus 4 to the power of 1 divided by 2 end exponent over denominator x minus 4 end fraction   = 1 half cross times space 4 to the power of 1 half minus 1 end exponent =1 fourth

    We can only apply the L’Hospital’s rule if the direct substitution returns an indeterminate form, that means 0 over 0 or fraction numerator plus-or-minus infinity over denominator plus-or-minus infinity end fraction.
