We can apply L’Hopital’s rule. Ans is 0.25

Copy paste from Ruturaj sir’s mock test.

For square root of 16, isn’t -4 also possible?

Is there an inconsistency in solution to given problem? In case of changing limit according to h=x+3 and rationalizing the numerator, the solution turns out to be 0.5 instead of 0.25 as in case of using L' Hopital rule.

Best answer
$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -3} \frac{\sqrt{2x+22}\,-4}{x+3}\; (\frac{0}{0}\,form)$

$\text{Using L'Hôpital's rule}$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -3} \frac{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2x+22}}(2)\,-0}{1+0} =\lim_{x \to -3}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2x+22}} =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2(-3)+22}} =\frac{1}{4}=0.25$
