1. Problem Description

We need to evaluate the limit:
limx3x314x\lim_{x\to 3} \frac{x-3}{1 - \sqrt{4-x}}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we notice that if we substitute x=3x=3 directly into the expression, we get 33143=011=00\frac{3-3}{1-\sqrt{4-3}} = \frac{0}{1-1} = \frac{0}{0}, which is an indeterminate form. Therefore, we need to manipulate the expression to evaluate the limit.
We can multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 1+4x1+\sqrt{4-x}.
limx3x314x=limx3(x3)(1+4x)(14x)(1+4x)\lim_{x\to 3} \frac{x-3}{1-\sqrt{4-x}} = \lim_{x\to 3} \frac{(x-3)(1+\sqrt{4-x})}{(1-\sqrt{4-x})(1+\sqrt{4-x})}
=limx3(x3)(1+4x)1(4x)= \lim_{x\to 3} \frac{(x-3)(1+\sqrt{4-x})}{1 - (4-x)}
=limx3(x3)(1+4x)14+x= \lim_{x\to 3} \frac{(x-3)(1+\sqrt{4-x})}{1-4+x}
=limx3(x3)(1+4x)x3= \lim_{x\to 3} \frac{(x-3)(1+\sqrt{4-x})}{x-3}
Now, we can cancel the (x3)(x-3) terms in the numerator and denominator, since we are considering the limit as xx approaches 33, but xx is not equal to 33.
=limx3(1+4x)= \lim_{x\to 3} (1+\sqrt{4-x})
Now, we can substitute x=3x=3 into the simplified expression:
1+43=1+1=1+1=21 + \sqrt{4-3} = 1 + \sqrt{1} = 1+1 = 2

3. Final Answer

The final answer is 2.
