Limit((4 - sqrt(x))/(-16 + x), x, 16)
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+}\left(\frac{4 - \sqrt{x}}{x - 16}\right)$$
Multiply numerator and denominator by
$$- \sqrt{x} - 4$$
we get
$$\frac{\frac{4 - \sqrt{x}}{x - 16} \left(- \sqrt{x} - 4\right)}{- \sqrt{x} - 4}$$
=
$$\frac{1}{- \sqrt{x} - 4}$$
=
$$\frac{1}{- \sqrt{x} - 4}$$
The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+}\left(\frac{4 - \sqrt{x}}{x - 16}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+} \frac{1}{- \sqrt{x} - 4}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{8}$$
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
0/0,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+}\left(4 - \sqrt{x}\right) = 0$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+}\left(x - 16\right) = 0$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+}\left(\frac{4 - \sqrt{x}}{x - 16}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(4 - \sqrt{x}\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 16\right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+}\left(- \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+} - \frac{1}{8}$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 16^+} - \frac{1}{8}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{8}$$
It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
