Question

Evaluate the following: `lim_(x -> 2) [(3^(x/2) - 3)/(3^x - 9)]`

Sum

Solution

`lim_(x -> 2) [(3^(x/2) - 3)/(3^x - 9)]`

= `lim_(x -> 2)[(3^(x/2) - 3)/((3^(x/2))^2 - (3)^2)]`

= `lim_(x -> 2)(3^(x/2) - 3)/((3^(x/2) - 3)(3^(x/2) + 3)`

= `lim_(x -> 2)1/(3^(x/2) + 3)    ...[("As"  x -> 2"," x/2 -> 1),(therefore 3^(x/2) -> 3^1  therefore 3^(x/2) ≠ 3),(therefore  3^(x/2) - 3 ≠ 0)]`

= `1/(3^(2/2) + 3)`

= `1/(3^1 + 3)`

= `1/6`
