answer = -1/2, just need to know how to do the steps.
thanks in advance!!
thanks in advance!!
-
lim x -->√2, [ (1/ √2) - (1/x)]/ (√2) - x)
multiply top and bottom with -1
=> lim x -->√2, - [ (1/ √2) - (1/x)]/( x - √2)
take common denominator for the two terms of the numerator
=> lim x -->√2, - [ x - √2) ]/√2 x( x - √2)
cancel x - √2
=> lim x -->√2, [ -1 /(√2 x) ]
= -1/√(√2 √2)
= -1/2
multiply top and bottom with -1
=> lim x -->√2, - [ (1/ √2) - (1/x)]/( x - √2)
take common denominator for the two terms of the numerator
=> lim x -->√2, - [ x - √2) ]/√2 x( x - √2)
cancel x - √2
=> lim x -->√2, [ -1 /(√2 x) ]
= -1/√(√2 √2)
= -1/2
