1. Problem Description

We need to evaluate the limit of the expression x314x\frac{x-3}{1-\sqrt{4-x}} as xx approaches 33.

2. Solution Steps

First, we observe that directly substituting x=3x=3 into the expression results in the indeterminate form 00\frac{0}{0}.
Therefore, we need to manipulate the expression to resolve the indeterminate form.
We can multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of 14x1 - \sqrt{4-x} is 1+4x1 + \sqrt{4-x}.
So, we have
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})}
Using the difference of squares, (ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2, we can simplify the denominator.
(14x)(1+4x)=12(4x)2=1(4x)=14+x=x3(1-\sqrt{4-x})(1+\sqrt{4-x}) = 1^2 - (\sqrt{4-x})^2 = 1 - (4-x) = 1 - 4 + x = x - 3
Now, the expression becomes
limx3(x3)(1+4x)x3\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(x-3)(1+\sqrt{4-x})}{x-3}
We can cancel the (x3)(x-3) terms in the numerator and denominator:
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 limit is
