find the following limit. if the limit does not exist, click on \does not exist.\ lim(x→3) (4 - √(19 - x))/(x - 3) =

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Rationalize the numerator Multiply the fraction by $\frac{4 + \sqrt{19 - x}}{4+\sqrt{19 - x}}$. \[ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow3}\frac{4-\sqrt{19 - x}}{x - 3}\times\frac{4+\sqrt{19 - x}}{4+\sqrt{19 - x}}\\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow3}\frac{16-(19 - x)}{(x - 3)(4+\sqrt{19 - x})}\\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow3}\frac{x - 3}{(x - 3)(4+\sqrt{19 - x})} \end{align*} \] ## Step2: Simplify the fraction Cancel out the common factor $(x - 3)$ in the numerator and denominator. \[ \begin{align*} &\lim_{x\rightarrow3}\frac{x - 3}{(x - 3)(4+\sqrt{19 - x})}\\ =&\lim_{x\rightarrow3}\frac{1}{4+\sqrt{19 - x}} \end{align*} \] ## Step3: Evaluate the limit Substitute $x = 3$ into the simplified - function. \[ \begin{align*} &\frac{1}{4+\sqrt{19-3}}\\ =&\frac{1}{4+\sqrt{16}}\\ =&\frac{1}{4 + 4}\\ =&\frac{1}{8} \end{align*} \] # Answer: $\frac{1}{8}$
