Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Factor numerator

Factor out (2) from (-128 + 2x): (2(x - 64)). So, the limit becomes (\lim_{x\rightarrow64}\frac{2(x - 64)}{8-\sqrt{x}}).

Step2: Rationalize denominator

Multiply numerator and denominator by (8+\sqrt{x}): [ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow64}\frac{2(x - 64)(8+\sqrt{x})}{(8-\sqrt{x})(8+\sqrt{x})}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow64}\frac{2(x - 64)(8+\sqrt{x})}{64 - x}\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow64}\frac{-2(64 - x)(8+\sqrt{x})}{64 - x}\ \end{align*} ]

Step3: Cancel out common factor

Cancel out ((64 - x)): (\lim_{x\rightarrow64}-2(8+\sqrt{x}))

Step4: Substitute (x = 64)

Substitute (x = 64) into (-2(8+\sqrt{x})): (-2(8+\sqrt{64})=-2(8 + 8)=-32)

Answer:

(-32)
