Question
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\infty}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{cx}}-\text{x}}{}$

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\infty}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{cx}}-\text{x}}{}$$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\infty}}\Bigg(\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{cx}}-\text{x}\big)\frac{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{cx}}+\text{x}\big)}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{cx}}+\text{x}}\Bigg)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\infty}}\frac{\big(\text{x}^2+\text{cx}-\text{x}^2\big)}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{cx}+\text{x}}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\infty}}\frac{\text{cx}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{cx}+\text{x}}}$ $\Big[\frac{\infty}{\infty}\text{ from}\Big]$$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\infty}}\frac{\text{c}}{\sqrt{1+\frac{\text{c}}{\text{x}}+1}}$
$=\frac{\text{c}}{1+1}=\frac{\text{c}}{2}$
