Question
Evaluate $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - 2} \frac{{\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2}}}{{x + 2}}$

Answer

Here $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - 2} \frac{{\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2}}}{{x + 2}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - 2} \frac{{\frac{{x + 2}}{{2x}}}}{{x + 2}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - 2} \frac{{x + 2}}{{2x}} \times \frac{1}{{x + 2}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - 2} \frac{1}{{2x}} = \frac{1}{{2 \times - 2}} = \frac{{ - 1}}{4}$
