QuestionFind the limit: limx41+2x\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} \sqrt{1+2 x}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to find the limit of the function 1+x\sqrt{1+x} as xx approaches4. . We will use the direct substitution method to find the limit.

STEP 2

The direct substitution method involves substituting the value that xx is approaching into the function.
limx41+2x=1+2(4)\lim{x \rightarrow4} \sqrt{1+2 x} = \sqrt{1+2(4)}

STEP 3

Now, simplify the expression inside the square root.
1+2()=1+8\sqrt{1+2()} = \sqrt{1+8}

STEP 4

Further simplify the expression inside the square root.
1+8=9\sqrt{1+8} = \sqrt{9}

STEP 5

Finally, calculate the square root of9.
9=3\sqrt{9} =3So, the limit of the function 1+2x\sqrt{1+2x} as xx approaches4 is3.
