\displaystyle \textbf{Question 24: } \lim \limits_{x\to-\infty}\left(\sqrt{x^2-8x}+x\right).
\displaystyle \textbf{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Given }\lim \limits_{x\to-\infty}\left(\sqrt{x^2-8x}+x\right).
\displaystyle \text{Let }x=-m.\text{ When }x\to-\infty,\text{ then }m\to\infty.
\displaystyle \therefore \lim \limits_{m\to\infty}\left(\sqrt{m^2+8m}-m\right)
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{m\to\infty}\left(\sqrt{m^2+8m}-m\right)\times\frac{\sqrt{m^2+8m}+m}{\sqrt{m^2+8m}+m}
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{m\to\infty}\frac{m^2+8m-m^2}{\sqrt{m^2+8m}+m}
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{m\to\infty}\frac{8m}{\sqrt{m^2+8m}+m}
\displaystyle \text{Here the expression assumes the form }\frac{\infty}{\infty}.\text{ The highest power of }m\text{ in both}
\displaystyle \text{the numerator and denominator is }1.\text{ Therefore, divide each term in both}
\displaystyle \text{the numerator and denominator by }m.
\displaystyle \text{When }m\to\infty,\text{ then }\frac{1}{m}\to0.
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{m\to\infty}\frac{8}{\sqrt{1+\frac{8}{m}}+1}
\displaystyle =\frac{8}{\sqrt{1}+1}
\displaystyle =4

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 26: } \text{Evaluate }\lim \limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{1\cdot2+2\cdot3+3\cdot4+\cdots+n(n+1)}{n^3}.
\displaystyle \textbf{Answer:}
\displaystyle \lim \limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{1\cdot2+2\cdot3+3\cdot4+\cdots+n(n+1)}{n^3}
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sum \limits_{k=1}^{n}k(k+1)}{n^3}
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sum \limits_{k=1}^{n}k^2+\sum \limits_{k=1}^{n}k}{n^3}
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}{n^3}
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{n(n+1)\left((2n+1)+3\right)}{6n^3}
\displaystyle =\lim \limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3n^3}
