Limit((5 - x)^(2/(-4 + x)), x, 4)
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to 4^+} \left(5 - x\right)^{\frac{2}{x - 4}}$$
transform
do replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{4 - x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to 4^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4 - x}}\right)^{\frac{2}{x - 4}}$$ =
=
$$\lim_{u \to 4^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{- 2 u}$$
=
$$\lim_{u \to 4^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{- 2 u}$$
=
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 4^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{-2}$$
The limit
$$\lim_{u \to 4^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}$$
is second remarkable limit, is equal to e ~ 2.718281828459045
then
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 4^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{-2} = e^{-2}$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to 4^+} \left(5 - x\right)^{\frac{2}{x - 4}} = e^{-2}$$
Lopital's rule
There is no sense to apply Lopital's rule to this function since there is no indeterminateness of 0/0 or oo/oo type
