    ...lim(x-->0)((sqrt(x+5) - sqrt(5))/x), an indeterminate case of 0/0 after direct substitution, (rewrite the denominator x as (x+5) -5) = (sqrt(x+5) - sqrt(5))(sqrt(x+5) + sqrt(5)); I treated (x+5) - 5 as a difference of squares) --> the original limit after the final cancelling of top and bottom common factors becomes: lim(x-->0)(1/(sqrt(x+5) + sqrt(5)) = 1/2sqrt(5) = sqrt(5)/10. An alternative way of solving the same limit, Jan-W

    The limit is continuous as x approaches 0 and is equal to 1÷2√5 when x=0 but becomes discontinuous or undefined when x

    how did the denominator become 2 square root of 5?

    • @keepscrolling6042
      @keepscrolling6042 Рік тому

      Think of root 5 like an x, (1x + 1x = 2x). Now replace x with root 5. You'll get 2 times root 5.

    Why solve for it if its undefined?

    • @VndNvwYvvSvv
      @VndNvwYvvSvv 5 років тому

      1. To determine in the first place whether it's defined or undefined.
      2. For a limit approaching zero with a denominator that would equal zero, this doesn't mean there is no limit. It means we have to do more work to fijd it a different way.
      A limit is not the behavior AT a point that csn be undefined; it's defined as the behavior NEAR/APPROACHING that value, so the limit exists and acts the same regardless of whether that point is non-continuous/undefined/has a denom of 0.

    sir, how would root 10 equal 2root5. Wouldn't root20 equal 2root5? maybe I'm missing something here, but wouldn't you break up 20 into 5 and 4 and take the root of 4 which would be 2 , so then it would be 2root5?

    • @anricogideon78

      root 5 + root 5 isn't equal to root 10. Think of root 5 like an x, (1x + 1x = 2x). Now replace x with root 5. You'll get 2 times root 5.

      he substituted in 0 for x so it became 1/sqrt((0)+5)+sqrt(5) then 0+5 = 5 so it became 1/sqrt(5) + sqrt(5). then combine like terms (x+x = 2x) it became 1/2sqrt(5)

    • @crowroth726
      @crowroth726 4 роки тому +1

      the point of manipulating the whole thing is to get it to the point where substituting in the value you want doesnt cause 0/0 or undefined etc.

      You can rationalise it if you want to, but it’s not necessary usually if it’s on the AP exam unless it’s mentioned.

    • @VndNvwYvvSvv
      @VndNvwYvvSvv 5 років тому

      Justin Lee In the rest of the world and school, it's standard form to always rationalize denominators.
      You would clear the fraction like any other. Multiply a single root by itself, or a sum/difference by its conjugate. To keep the expression equivalent, your factor must = 1, so put the same number on top and bottom of a fraction.
      For example in trigonometry, if you have tan(30°), it's 1/2 over √3/2 which simplifies to 1/√3. The is improper form, so we need to clear the radical. To keep from changing the value, multiply by √3/√3. Now you have √3/3!

      The x goes to 0, so the only thing left in the denominator is the sqrt 5 + sqrt 5, which is equal to 2 times sqrt 5

    The limit doesn't exist for this problem because of the fact that you get a non zero number over zero when you use direct substitution right away
