To find the limit of the given expression as x approaches 0, we can simplify it and then substitute 0 for x.
First, let's simplify the expression:
√(x²+100) - 10 / x²
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the square root:
[√(x²+100) - 10] / x² ⋅ [(√(x²+100) + 10) / (√(x²+100) + 10)]
Use the difference of squares:
[(x² + 100) - 10√(x²+100)] / x² ⋅ [(√(x²+100) + 10) / (√(x²+100) + 10)]
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
[(x² + 100) - 10√(x²+100)][(√(x²+100) + 10)] / [x²(√(x²+100) + 10)]
Now, let's substitute 0 for x:
[(0² + 100) - 10√(0²+100)][(√(0²+100) + 10)] / [0²(√(0²+100) + 10)]
Simplifying further, we get:
[(100 - 10√100)][(10)] / [0]
Since √(100) = 10,
[100 - 10(10)][10] / [0]
Simplifying the numerator and denominator:
[100 - 100][10] / [0]
This gives us:
[0][10] / [0]
Since we have 0 in the numerator and denominator, the expression becomes undefined.
Therefore, the limit of √x²+100 -10 / x² as x approaches 0 is undefined.
Find the limits
