$lim_{x \to 9} \frac{16 + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{16 + x}}$

Step 1

Split the limit using the Limits Quotient Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $9$ .

$\frac{lim_{x \to 9} 16 + \sqrt{x}}{lim_{x \to 9} \sqrt{16 + x}}$

Step 2

Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $9$ .

$\frac{lim_{x \to 9} 16 + lim_{x \to 9} \sqrt{x}}{lim_{x \to 9} \sqrt{16 + x}}$

Step 3

Evaluate the limit of $16$ which is constant as $x$ approaches $9$ .

$\frac{16 + lim_{x \to 9} \sqrt{x}}{lim_{x \to 9} \sqrt{16 + x}}$

Step 4

Move the limit under the radical sign.

$\frac{16 + \sqrt{lim_{x \to 9} x}}{lim_{x \to 9} \sqrt{16 + x}}$

Step 5

Move the limit under the radical sign.

$\frac{16 + \sqrt{lim_{x \to 9} x}}{\sqrt{lim_{x \to 9} 16 + x}}$

Step 6

Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $9$ .

$\frac{16 + \sqrt{lim_{x \to 9} x}}{\sqrt{lim_{x \to 9} 16 + lim_{x \to 9} x}}$

Step 7

Evaluate the limit of $16$ which is constant as $x$ approaches $9$ .

$\frac{16 + \sqrt{lim_{x \to 9} x}}{\sqrt{16 + lim_{x \to 9} x}}$

Step 8

Evaluate the limits by plugging in $9$ for all occurrences of $x$ .
