The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \( \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} - \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \right) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Multiply by the Conjugate To simplify the expression, we multiply and divide by the conjugate of the expression: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} - \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \right) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}}{\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Expression This gives us: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{(x^2 + x + 1) - (x^2 + 1)}{\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}} \] Simplifying the numerator: \[ (x^2 + x + 1) - (x^2 + 1) = x \] So, we have: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}} \] ### Step 3: Factor Out \(x\) from the Square Roots Next, we factor \(x\) out of the square roots in the denominator: \[ \sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} = \sqrt{x^2(1 + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2})} = x\sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2}} \] \[ \sqrt{x^2 + 1} = \sqrt{x^2(1 + \frac{1}{x^2})} = x\sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}} \] Thus, the limit becomes: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x}{x\left(\sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2}} + \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}}\right)} \] Cancelling \(x\) from the numerator and denominator: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2}} + \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}}} \] ### Step 4: Evaluate the Limit As \(x \to \infty\), both \(\frac{1}{x}\) and \(\frac{1}{x^2}\) approach 0: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + 0 + 0} + \sqrt{1 + 0}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1} + \sqrt{1}} = \frac{1}{1 + 1} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the limit is: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} \]
