To find the limit as x approaches 0 of (√(1+x) - 1) / x, we can use L'Hopital's Rule.
Let f(x) = √(1+x) - 1 and g(x) = x.Therefore, f(0) = 0 and g(0) = 0.
Taking the derivative of f(x) and g(x) gives us:
f'(x) = 1 / (2√(1+x))g'(x) = 1
Now, we can apply L'Hopital's Rule:
lim┬(x→0) √(1+x) - 1 / x = lim┬(x→0) f(x) / g(x)= lim┬(x→0) f'(x) / g'(x)= lim┬(x→0) 1 / (2√(1+x))
Now, plug in x = 0:
lim┬(x→0) 1 / (2√(1+0))= 1 / (2)
Therefore, the limit of (√(1+x) - 1) / x as x approaches 0 is 1/2.

= lim┬(x→0) f'(x) / g'(x)
= lim┬(x→0) 1 / (2√(1+x))
Now, plug in x = 0:
lim┬(x→0) 1 / (2√(1+0))
= 1 / (2)
Therefore, the limit of (√(1+x) - 1) / x as x approaches 0 is 1/2.
