Question

Show that the limit 

lim x approaches infinity [(1+x/2-sqrt(1+x)) / x^2] exists and find its value.

I have that the Taylor polynomial T2[sqrt(1+x),0] = 1 + (1/2)x -(1/8)x^2.

And an expression for the remainder R2(x), sqrt(1+x)=T2(x)+R2(x)

= 1/(16sqrt(1+c)^5) x^3.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given limx1+x2sqrt1+xx2.

We have to show that the given limit is exists and find the its value.

Given that the Taylor polynomial T2sqrt1+x,0=1+x2x28

If we substitute the limit then we have of the , which is indeterminate form.
