I'm trying to compute this limit without the use of L'Hopital's rule:



$$lim_x to 0^+ frac4^-1/x+4^1/x4^-1/x-4^1/x$$



I've been trying to multiply by the lcd and doing other creative stuff... anyone have any suggestions on theorems or techniques?

          Write the limit as
          $$
          lim_xto 0+frac1+4^-2/x-1+4^-2/x
          $$

          and use the fact that
          $$
          lim_xto 0+frac-2x=-infty.
          $$

          to find that the limit equals $-1$.

            A substitution can be helpful, as it transforms the expression into a rational function:



            • Set $y=4^frac1x$ and consider $y to +infty$

            begineqnarray* frac4^-1/x+4^1/x4^-1/x-4^1/x
            & stackrely=4^frac1x= & fracfrac1y+yfrac1y-y \
            & = & fracfrac1y^2+1frac1y^2-1 \
            & stackrely to +inftylongrightarrow & frac0+10-1 = -1

              $$lim_xto 0^+dfrac4^-1/x+4^1/x4^-1/x-4^1/x=lim_xto 0^+dfrac4^-2/x+14^-2/x-1$$



              Clearly as $xto 0^+$, $2/xto infty$. Since the power of $4$ is $-2/x$, it must go to $0$. Effectively we have $frac0+10-1=-1$. Hence the required limit is $-1$.

                                    $$lim_xto 0^+dfrac4^-1/x+4^1/x4^-1/x-4^1/x=lim_xto 0^+dfrac4^-2/x+14^-2/x-1$$



                                    Clearly as $xto 0^+$, $2/xto infty$. Since the power of $4$ is $-2/x$, it must go to $0$. Effectively we have $frac0+10-1=-1$. Hence the required limit is $-1$.
