Recognize that the denominator is the difference of two squares.
\n" ); document.write( "Use a substitution,\"sqrt%28x%29=u%29\" and \"sqrt%282%29=a\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28u-a%29%2F%28u%5E2-a%5E2%29=%28u-a%29%2F%28%28u-a%29%28u%2Ba%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28u-a%29%2F%28u%5E2-a%5E2%29=1%2F%28u%2Ba%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%28x%29-sqrt%282%29%29%2F%28x-a%29=1%2F%28sqrt%28x%29%2Bsqrt%282%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "and then the limit,
