I'm trying to solve this limit. Wolfram showed, that there's no limit, but I can clearly see that the limit exists from graph. Tried L'Hopital's rule, but didn't get any further.
$$lim_x->-1 fracsqrt[3]1+2x+1sqrt2+x + x$$
I don't know which method should I use

  • @RushabhMehta, I made graph in google, so I can't say exactly, but it's around 0.4

  • Well, Google is being really weird I guess. That's not even close to the actual graph of the function. This is closer.

Set $x=-1+h;$ ($hto 0$) and use the binomial approximation:




  • $sqrt[3]1+2(-1+h)+1=1-sqrt[3]1-2h=1-bigl(1-frac23 h+o(h)bigl)=frac23 h+o(h)$,


  • $sqrt2+(-1+h)-1+h=sqrt1+h-1+h=1+frac12h+o(h)-1+h=frac32h+o(h),$
    so $;dfracsqrt[3]1+2x+1sqrt2+x + x=dfracfrac23 h+o(h)frac32h+o(h))=dfracfrac23+o(1)frac32+o(1)=dfrac49+o(1).$

    Recall the formulas:
    $$
    beginalign
    a^2 -b^2 &= (a - b)(a + b)\
    a^3 + b^3 &= (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)
    endalign
    $$

    Using them we can get the following:
    $$
    beginalign
    sqrt[3]1+2x + 1 &=
    frac1 + 2x + 1sqrt[3]1+2x^2 - sqrt[3]1+2x + 1 =
    frac2(x + 1)sqrt[3]1+2x^2 - sqrt[3]1+2x + 1 \
    sqrt2+x + x &=
    frac2 + x - x^2sqrt2+x - x =
    -frac(x + 1)(x - 2)sqrt2+x - x
    endalign
    $$

    Therefore, your limit is equal to
    $$
    lim_xto-1 fracsqrt[3]1+2x+1sqrt2+x + x =
    lim_xto-1 -frac2(sqrt2+x - x)(x - 2)(sqrt[3]1+2x^2 - sqrt[3]1+2x + 1),
    $$

    which is pretty straightforward to compute.
