multiply both top and bottom by reciprocal (Sqrt x + Sqrt 5) then your left with x-5 over (x-5)(Sqrt x+Sqrt 5). the x-5 cancel and then its 1/(Sqrt x+sqrt5). then you take the lim and its\[\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{5}+\sqrt{5} } = \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{10} }\] right?

Ok what about \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ sinx }{ x ^{2}+2x}\] do i just do the same thing by multiplying by reciprocal?
OpenStudy (goformit100):
it's called commponendo and divinendo.

what is?
OpenStudy (goformit100):
multiplying by reciprocal
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok.. how would i start this?
OpenStudy (goformit100):
Ok show your first step
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i would factor the bottom\[\frac{ \sin x }{ x(x+2) }\] and \[\frac{ \sin x }{ x }= 1\] so then the answer is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
