evaluate $lim_{x\rightarrow0}left(\frac{sqrt{2x + 9}-9}{x}\right)$\n72\n$infty$\n0\n2\ncant be determined

Explanation:

Step1: Rationalize the numerator

Multiply the fraction by $\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}$. [ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}-9}{x}\times\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{(2x + 9)-81}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x-72}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)} \end{align*} ]

Step2: Simplify the numerator

Factor out $x$ from the numerator. [ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x-72}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{x(2)}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9} \end{align*} ]

Step3: Substitute $x = 0$

[ \begin{align*} &\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\times0 + 9}+9}\ =&\frac{2}{3 + 9}\ =&\frac{2}{12}\ =&\frac{1}{6} \end{align*} ] However, there is a mistake above. Let's correct it.

Step1: Rationalize the numerator

Multiply the fraction by $\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}$. [ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}-9}{x}\times\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{(\sqrt{2x + 9})^2-9^2}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x + 9-81}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x-72}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)} \end{align*} ]

Step2: Cancel out $x$

Since $x\neq0$ when taking the limit as $x\rightarrow0$, we can cancel out $x$ in the numerator and denominator. [ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+9} \end{align*} ]

Step3: Substitute $x = 0$

[ \begin{align*} &\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\times0+9}+9}\ =&\frac{2}{3 + 9}\ =&\frac{1}{6} \end{align*} ] But if we assume there is a mis - typing and the original limit is $\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2x + 81}-9}{x}$

Step1: Rationalize the numerator

Multiply by $\frac{\sqrt{2x + 81}+9}{\sqrt{2x + 81}+9}$ [ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2x + 81}-9}{x}\times\frac{\sqrt{2x + 81}+9}{\sqrt{2x + 81}+9}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{(2x + 81)-81}{x(\sqrt{2x + 81}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x}{x(\sqrt{2x + 81}+9)} \end{align*} ]

Step2: Cancel out $x$

[ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x}{x(\sqrt{2x + 81}+9)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2}{\sqrt{2x + 81}+9} \end{align*} ]

Step3: Substitute $x = 0$

[ \begin{align*} &\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\times0+81}+9}\ =&\frac{2}{9 + 9}\ =&\frac{1}{9} \end{align*} ] If we assume the correct limit is $\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2x+9}-3}{x}$

Step1: Rationalize the numerator

Multiply by $\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}+3}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+3}$ [ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}-3}{x}\times\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}+3}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+3}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{(2x + 9)-9}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+3)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+3)} \end{align*} ]

Step2: Cancel out $x$

[ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2x}{x(\sqrt{2x + 9}+3)}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{2}{\sqrt{2x + 9}+3} \end{align*} ]

Step3: Substitute $x = 0$

[ \begin{align*} &\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\times0+9}+3}\ =&\frac{2}{3 + 3}\ =&\frac{1}{3} \end{align*} ] Assuming the problem is $\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2x + 9}-3}{x}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$
