In this question: Solving limit without L'Hôpital
The answer is as follows:
limx→05−√x+25x=limx→0(5−√x+25)(5+√x+25)x(5+√x+25)=limx→025−(x+25)x(5+√x+25)=−110
Expanding the fraction makes sense, but I dont understand how we get −110 as a result. Because when you put in 0 for x ( which I intuitively did) I get 00 as a result, which doesnt get me anywhere withou l'Hospital.
What step did I miss ?
Answer
limx→025−(x+25)x(5+√x+25)=limx→0−xx(5+√x+25)=limx→0−15+√x+25
Note that after the second step we cancel out the x in the numerator and denominator, and are left with an expression with which we can evaluate at x=0.
