How do you find the limit as x approaches 0, of x/((√x+1)-1)?
Could you show how you solve this problem?

lim x/(√x+1 -1)
x->0
lim x(√x+1 +1)/(√x+1 -1)(√x+1 +1)
x->0
lim x(√x+1 +1)/(x+1-1)
x->0
lim x(√x+1 +1)/x
x->0
lim √x+1 +1
x->0
as the limit approaches 0 then
√0+1 +1 = 2
the limit is 2
x->0
lim x(√x+1 +1)/(√x+1 -1)(√x+1 +1)
x->0
lim x(√x+1 +1)/(x+1-1)
x->0
lim x(√x+1 +1)/x
x->0
lim √x+1 +1
x->0
as the limit approaches 0 then
√0+1 +1 = 2
the limit is 2

x/((√x+1)-1)
Multiply the top and bottom by (√(x+1) + 1) to rationalize.
x/((√x+1)-1) * (√(x+1) + 1)/(√(x+1) + 1)
x(√(x+1) + 1) / (x+1-1)
x(√(x+1) + 1)/x
√(x+1) + 1
Now you can plug it in.
√(x+1) + 1
√(0+1) + 1
√1 + 1 = 2
Multiply the top and bottom by (√(x+1) + 1) to rationalize.
x/((√x+1)-1) * (√(x+1) + 1)/(√(x+1) + 1)
x(√(x+1) + 1) / (x+1-1)
x(√(x+1) + 1)/x
√(x+1) + 1
Now you can plug it in.
√(x+1) + 1
√(0+1) + 1
√1 + 1 = 2

*sigh*
whats the problem???
use l'Hospital's rule.
it is trivial.
and doesn't require a bunch of algebra.
