Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
B
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
Rationalization.
Step 1:
Multiply conjugate.
\[ \frac{(x^2+1)-(x^2-1)}{\sqrt{x^2+1}+\sqrt{x^2-1}} \]
Step 2:
Simplify numerator.
\[ = \frac{2}{\sqrt{x^2+1}+\sqrt{x^2-1}} \]
Step 3:
Divide by \( x \).
Step 4:
Limit: \[ = \frac{2}{x(1+1)} = \frac{1}{x} \]
Step 5:
As \( x\to\infty \): \[ =0 \]
