Limit of \( \displaystyle \frac{3 x - 4}{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{x} - 2} \) as \( x \to \frac{4}{3} \)

Problem 1.301 · medium

Evaluate \( \displaystyle \lim_{x \to \frac{4}{3}} \frac{3 x - 4}{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{x} - 2} \).
  1. \[ \lim_{x \to \frac{4}{3}^+}\left(\frac{3 x - 4}{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{x} - 2}\right) \]
    limitIdentify the limit and the indeterminate form 0/0.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \lim_{x \to \frac{4}{3}^+}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(3 x - 4\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} \left(\sqrt{3} \sqrt{x} - 2\right)}\right) \]
    lhopitalApply L'Hôpital's Rule because the limit is of the form 0/0.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \lim_{x \to \frac{4}{3}^+}\left(2 \sqrt{3} \sqrt{x}\right) \]
    simplify algebra algebra simplifyCompute the derivatives of the numerator and denominator. Simplify the complex fraction. Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Rationalize the expression by multiplying numerator and denominator by sqrt(3).✓ Proved
  4. \[ = 4 \]
    limitEvaluate the limit by substituting x = 4/3.✓ Proved

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-10-06 with SymPy 1.14.0.
