Advance Calculus Limit question
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowLimit finding of an indeterminate formI need compute a rational limit that involves rootsComplex Limit Without L'hopital'sLimit of $x^2e^x $as $x$ approaches negative infinity without using L'hopital's ruleSolving limit of radicals without L'Hopital $lim_{xto 64} dfrac{sqrt x - 8}{sqrt[3] x - 4} $Solve a limit without L'Hopital: $ lim_{xto0} frac{ln(cos5x)}{ln(cos7x)}$Limit question - L'Hopital's rule doesn't seem to workHow can I solve this limit without L'Hopital rule?Find a limit of a function W/OUT l'Hopital's rule.Compute $lim_{x rightarrow 4} frac{(2x^2 - 7x -4)}{(-x^2 + 8x - 16)}$
$begingroup$
I'm trying to compute this limit without the use of L'Hopital's rule:
$$lim_{x to 0^{+}} frac{4^{-1/x}+4^{1/x}}{4^{-1/x}-4^{1/x}}$$
I've been trying to multiply by the lcd and doing other creative stuff... anyone have any suggestions on theorems or techniques?

Write the limit as
$$
lim_{xto 0+}frac{1+4^{-2/x}}{-1+4^{-2/x}}
$$
and use the fact that
$$
lim_{xto 0+}frac{-2}{x}=-infty.
$$
to find that the limit equals $-1$.

A substitution can be helpful, as it transforms the expression into a rational function:
- Set $y=4^{frac{1}{x}}$ and consider $y to +infty$
begin{eqnarray*} frac{4^{-1/x}+4^{1/x}}{4^{-1/x}-4^{1/x}}
& stackrel{y=4^{frac{1}{x}}}{=} & frac{frac{1}{y}+y}{frac{1}{y}-y} \
& = & frac{frac{1}{y^2}+1}{frac{1}{y^2}-1} \
& stackrel{y to +infty}{longrightarrow} & frac{0+1}{0-1} = -1
end{eqnarray*}

$$lim_{xto 0^+}dfrac{4^{-1/x}+4^{1/x}}{4^{-1/x}-4^{1/x}}=lim_{xto 0^+}dfrac{4^{-2/x}+1}{4^{-2/x}-1}$$
Clearly as $xto 0^+$, $2/xto infty$. Since the power of $4$ is $-2/x$, it must go to $0$. Effectively we have $frac{0+1}{0-1}=-1$. Hence the required limit is $-1$.

$$lim_{xto 0^+}dfrac{4^{-1/x}+4^{1/x}}{4^{-1/x}-4^{1/x}}=lim_{xto 0^+}dfrac{4^{-2/x}+1}{4^{-2/x}-1}$$
Clearly as $xto 0^+$, $2/xto infty$. Since the power of $4$ is $-2/x$, it must go to $0$. Effectively we have $frac{0+1}{0-1}=-1$. Hence the required limit is $-1$.
