Problem
The value of is (a) (b) (c) 0 (d) None of theseIntuitive explanation
This is a limit problem involving nested radicals, where direct substitution gives the indeterminate form . The key insight is to rationalize the numerator by multiplying by the conjugate , which will eliminate the outer square root and reveal the behavior near . You'll then need to rationalize again to handle the inner radical, but this two-step approach transforms a messy nested expression into something you can evaluate.
