lim_(x→∞) (((x−a)(x+2)−x^2 −x)/( x(√((1−(a/x))(1+(2/x))))+x(√(1+(1/x)))))=2 lim_(x→∞) ((x^2 −ax+2x−2a−x^2 −x)/(x+x))=2 lim_(x→∞) ((−a−1+2−((2a)/x))/2)=2 −a+1=4 a=−3 Or x(√((1−(a/x))(1+(2/x)))) −x(√(1+(1/x))) =2 x(1−(a/(2x))+(1/x)−(a/(2x^2 ))−1−(1/(2x)))=2 ((1−a)/2)−(a/(2x))=2 1−a=4 a=−3

lim_(x→∞) (√(x^2 +(2−a)x−2a))−(√(x^2 +x)) = 2 ⇒ ((2−a−1)/(2.1)) = 2 ; 1−a = 4 ⇒a = −3

lim_(x→∞) (√((x−a)(x+2))) −(√(x(x+1))) = 2 ⇔lim_(x→∞) (√(x^2 +(2−a)x−2)) −(√(x^2 +x)) = 2 ((2−a−1)/(2(√1)))=2⇒((1−a)/2)=2⇒1−a=4⇒a=−3

let g(x) =(√((x−a)(x+2)))−(√(x(x+1))) ⇒g(x) =∣x∣(√(1−(a/x))).(√(1+(2/x))) −∣x∣(√(1+(1/x)))∼∣x∣{1−(a/(2x))} −∣x∣{1+(1/(2x))} =∣x∣−a ((∣x∣)/(2x))−∣x∣−((∣x∣)/(2x)) lim_(x→+∞) g(x)=2 ⇒ −(a/2)−(1/2) =2 ⇒−a−1 =4 ⇒ a+1 =−4 ⇒a=−5 lim_(x→−∞) g(x)=2 ⇒ (a/2)+(1/2)=2 ⇒a+1 =4 ⇒a=3

if a = 3 lim_(x→∞) (√(x^2 −x−6))−(√(x^2 +x)) = ((−1−1)/(2.1))=−1 wrong. your answer wrong. if lim_(x→∞) ∣x∣ = lim_(x→∞) x , but lim_(x→−∞) ∣x∣ = lim_(x→−∞) −x
