Question

Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root minus 2 end root over denominator x minus 8 end fraction equals

  1. 1 over 24
  2. 1 fourth
  3. 3 over 2
  4. 1 half

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 8 end subscript fraction numerator square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root minus 2 over denominator x minus 8 end fraction.

The correct answer is: 1 over 24


    Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root minus 2 over denominator x minus 8 end fraction
    We first try substitution:
    Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root minus 2 over denominator x minus 8 end fraction = Lt subscript x not stretchy rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus 8 end root end root minus 2 over denominator 8 minus 8 end fraction equals space 0 over 0
    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 8 end subscript fraction numerator begin display style fraction numerator d over denominator d x end fraction end style square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root minus 0 over denominator begin display style fraction numerator d over denominator d x end fraction end style x minus 0 end fraction space equals space L t subscript x rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator begin display style fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root end fraction end style fraction numerator d over denominator d x end fraction square root of 1 plus x end root over denominator 1 end fraction space
L t subscript x rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator begin display style fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root end fraction cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus x end root end fraction end style over denominator 1 end fraction equals L t subscript x rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root end fraction cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus x end root end fraction
    L t subscript x rightwards arrow 8 end subscript fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus x end root end root end fraction cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus x end root end fraction space
p u t space x equals 8 space t h e n
fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus square root of 1 plus 8 end root end root end fraction cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 1 plus 8 end root end fraction space equals space 1 over 24

    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.
