limit sqrt(x+sqrt(x+sqrt(x)))/sqrt(x) x->infinity without hopital rule

hartnn (hartnn):

do you understand this ? \(\Large \dfrac{\sqrt{a+b}}{c} = \sqrt{\dfrac{a}{c^2}+\dfrac{b}{c^2}}\) ??

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let me see if I got this right... \[\Large \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x}}}}{x\sqrt x}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

the denominator is only sqrt x

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

whoops... okay, fixing...\[\Large \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x}}}}{\sqrt x}\] Now then, @mononoor ready?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i Waiting

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Right... then I suggest you put this property to good use... \[\Large \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt a}{\sqrt b}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

waiting for what ? lol sorry, this is not a free answering service. its a learning site, and we can best learn when we interact with each other, agree ?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

The gist of it is @mononoor I'm going to need you to work with me here ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn I agree. but I understand this equation

hartnn (hartnn):

so you understood the simplification that terenz and i suggested ? can you try it for your question, your limit function ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or maybe just divide both numerator and denominator by \(\sqrt{x}\) first?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

@RolyPoly I was going to say that, then I realised it's identical to just simplifying the fraction-radical... and it's less messy XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hehe! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x}}}}{\sqrt x}\]\[=\Large \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\sqrt{\frac{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x}}}{x}}\]Have fun with cancelling :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Easy guys... I prefer not to begin before @mononoor does ;)

OpenStudy (kenljw):

sqrt(x+sqrt(x+sqrt(x)))/sqrt(x) sqrt(1+sqrt(x+sqrt(x))/x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{ \sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x}}} }{ \sqrt{x} }=1\] this is correct?

hartnn (hartnn):

the final answer 1 ? how'd you get it?

hartnn (hartnn):

i want to just verify that you've not guessed it, but actually solved it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{\frac{ x +\sqrt{x +\sqrt{x}} }{ x }}=\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{x +\sqrt{x}} }{ x }}=\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+1} }{ \sqrt{x}\sqrt{x} }}\] \[=\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{x+1} }{ \sqrt{x} }} =\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{\sqrt{x} \sqrt{1+1/\sqrt{x}} }{ \sqrt{x} }}=

hartnn (hartnn):

you are on right direction, so i will believe you got it by actually solving :) no need to show further steps if you don't want to...

hartnn (hartnn):

\[=\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{x+1} }{ \sqrt{x} }} =\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{\sqrt{x} \sqrt{1+1/\sqrt{x}} }{ \sqrt{x} }}=\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+ \sqrt{1+1/\sqrt{x}} }=\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+0}}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}\] oh... this slove to \[\sqrt{2}\] sorry

hartnn (hartnn):

actually there's an error in your working...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me? Which stage؟

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\Large \lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{x +\sqrt{x}} }{ x }}=\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{x}\sqrt{\color{red}{\sqrt x}+1} }{ \sqrt{x}\sqrt{x} }}\) \(\Large x+\sqrt x =\sqrt x (\sqrt x+1) \)

hartnn (hartnn):

got this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes.

hartnn (hartnn):

any problems ? doubts anymore ?

hartnn (hartnn):

no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry. I busy at my office. \[=\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{x}\sqrt{\sqrt{x}+1} }{ \sqrt{x}\sqrt{x} }}=\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{\sqrt{x}+1} }{ \sqrt{x} }}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if \[\sqrt{x}=a\] ==> \[1+\frac{ \sqrt{a+1} }{ a }=1+\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{a+1} }+\frac{ 1 }{ a \sqrt{a+1} }\] and \[x \rightarrow \infty \] then \[a \rightarrow \infty \] \[\lim_{a \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{a+1} }+\frac{ 1 }{ a \sqrt{a+1} }}=\sqrt{1+0+0}=1\] this is correct؟

hartnn (hartnn):

yes! absolutely :) good work! and you could have done that without using 'a' to...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is understanding for me. and thank from you.

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\Large \lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\frac{ \sqrt{\color{red}{\sqrt x}+1} }{ \sqrt{x} }} =\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\sqrt {\frac{{\color{red}{\sqrt x}+1} }{ {x} }} } =\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{1+\sqrt {\frac{{\color{red}{1}} }{ {\sqrt x} }+\frac{1}{x}} } \) and since x -> infinity 1/sqrt x and 1/x = 0 just the same thing said differently. oh, good, welcome ^_^

hartnn (hartnn):

since you are new here, \(\Huge \mathcal{\text{Welcome To OpenStudy}\ddot\smile} \) if you have any doubts browsing this site, you can ask me. Have fun learning with Open Study! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very very happy to coming to this site. and my language not English. but I try to learn it.

hartnn (hartnn):

we are also glad to have you here :) you're doing good at learning english, keep it up :)
