Evaluate the following limits:

As we need to find


We can directly find the limiting value of a function by putting the value of the variable at which the limiting value is asked if it does not take any indeterminate form (0/0 or ∞/∞ or ∞-∞, .. etc.)


Let Z = (indeterminate form)


we need to take steps to remove this form so that we can get a finite value.


TIP: Most of the problems of logarithmic and exponential limits are solved using the formula and


Note: While modifying be careful that you don’t introduce any zero terms in the denominator


As Z


Multiplying both numerator and denominator by √(4+x)+2 so that we can remove the indeterminate form.

Z


{using a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)}


Z


Using basic algebra of limits-


Z =


Z = 4


Use the formula:


Z = 4log 5
