How do I calculate the limit (as x approaches 3) of ((x+6)^0.5 - x) / (x^3 -3x^2)
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Rationalize the numerator to find the limit as under.
lim (x → 3) (√(x+6) - x) / (x^3 - 3x^2)
= lim (x → 3) [(√(x+6) - x) * (√(x+6) + x] / [x^2 (x - 3) * ((√(x+6) + x)]
= lim (x → 3) (x + 6 - x^2) / [x^2 (x - 3) * ((√(x+6) + x)]
= - lim (x → 3) [(x - 3) (x + 2)] / [x^2 (x - 3) * ((√(x+6) + x)]
= - lim (x → 3) (x + 2) / [x^2 * (√(x+6) + x)]
= - (3 + 2) / [3^2 * (√(3+6) + 3)]
= - 5/54.

x->3 ((x+6)^(1/2)-x) *((x+6)^(1/2)+x)
----------------------------------------…
x^2(x-3) * ((x+6)^(1/2)+x)
x->3 --(x-3)(x+2)
---------------------
x^2(x-3)((x+6)^(1/2)+x)
--5/9x6=--5/54
