what happens if you try to use lhospitals rule to find the limit?\n\\( \\lim _ { x \\rightarrow \\infty } \\frac { x } { \\sqrt { x ^ { 2 } + 4 } } \\)\nyou cannot apply lhospitals rule because the function is not continuous.\nyou cannot apply lhospitals rule because the function is not differentiable.\nyou cannot apply lhospitals rule because the denominator equals zero for some value \\( x = \\)\na.\nyou cannot apply lhospitals rule because the numerator equals zero for some value \\( x = a \\).\nrepeated applications of lhospitals rule result in the original limit or the limit of thereciprocal of the function.\nevaluate the limit using another method.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Apply L'Hospital's Rule
Differentiate numerator and denominator. The derivative of (y = x) is (y'=1). The derivative of (y=\sqrt{x^{2}+4}=(x^{2} + 4)^{\frac{1}{2}}) using the chain - rule ((u^{n})'=nu^{n - 1}u') where (u=x^{2}+4), (n=\frac{1}{2}). (y'=\frac{1}{2}(x^{2}+4)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\cdot2x=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+4}}) So, (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+4}}) becomes (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+4}}}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\sqrt{x^{2}+4}}{x})
Step2: Simplify the original limit without L'Hospital's Rule
Divide numerator and denominator by (x) (since (x\rightarrow\infty,x>0)). (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+4}}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{x}{|x|\sqrt{1 + \frac{4}{x^{2}}}}) Since (x\rightarrow\infty,x>0), (|x| = x). (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{x}{x\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{x^{2}}}}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{x^{2}}}})
Step3: Evaluate the limit
As (x\rightarrow\infty,\frac{4}{x^{2}}\rightarrow0). (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{x^{2}}}} = 1)
Answer:
Repeated applications of l'Hospital's Rule result in the original limit or the limit of the reciprocal of the function. The value of the limit (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+4}}) is (1)
