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 $-1$.
