The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \left( \sqrt{x+c} - \sqrt{x} \right), \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the limit We start with the limit expression: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \left( \sqrt{x+c} - \sqrt{x} \right). \] ### Step 2: Multiply and divide by the conjugate To simplify the expression, we can multiply and divide by the conjugate of the expression inside the limit: \[ \sqrt{x+c} - \sqrt{x} = \frac{(\sqrt{x+c} - \sqrt{x})(\sqrt{x+c} + \sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x+c} + \sqrt{x}} = \frac{(x+c) - x}{\sqrt{x+c} + \sqrt{x}} = \frac{c}{\sqrt{x+c} + \sqrt{x}}. \] Thus, we can rewrite the limit as: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \cdot \frac{c}{\sqrt{x+c} + \sqrt{x}}. \] ### Step 3: Substitute the expression into the limit Now substituting back, we have: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{c \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+c} + \sqrt{x}}. \] ### Step 4: Factor out \(\sqrt{x}\) Next, we factor \(\sqrt{x}\) out of the denominator: \[ \sqrt{x+c} = \sqrt{x(1 + \frac{c}{x})} = \sqrt{x} \sqrt{1 + \frac{c}{x}}. \] So the limit becomes: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{c \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x} \left( \sqrt{1 + \frac{c}{x}} + 1 \right)} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{c}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{c}{x}} + 1}. \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the limit As \(x\) approaches infinity, \(\frac{c}{x}\) approaches 0. Therefore: \[ \sqrt{1 + \frac{c}{x}} \to \sqrt{1 + 0} = 1. \] Thus, we have: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{c}{1 + 1} = \frac{c}{2}. \] ### Final Answer The limit evaluates to: \[ \boxed{\frac{c}{2}}. \]
