When solving limits involving expressions with square roots, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator to eliminate the radical and simplify the expression. For example, when you have an expression like (√x + h - √x) / h, multiply the top and bottom by (√x + h + √x) to use the difference of squares formula (a-b)(a+b) = a² - b², which simplifies the limit calculation.

Calculus Trick Solving Limits with ConjugateAdded:
We have to use a conjugate. Remember conjugates? So, for conjugates, basically, what you have to do here is x + uh h, you're going to have the same thing, but here you're going to have a positive. Okay, so positive x.
So, here we're going to have the same thing, but there you're going to have a positive x, and we're going to multiply the top and bottom with the same thing.
Now, if you go ahead and multiply this, so for the conjugate, the only thing that you have to remember that uh if you go ahead and multiply this, so you're going to be left with a a minus b, okay, at the end if you go ahead and multiply two conjugates. But, if you want you can
