Let me tell you the problem first:
It's the limit as x approaches a, and the top of the expression is square root of (2*a^3*x - x^4) minus a*cubed root(a^2*x), and all of that is over the bottom, which is: a minus the fourth root of (a*x^3)
To help anyone out, it has this whole history before it with something about l'Hospital's Rule, something about how it was one of the first ones if one of his first books or something. So I did Hospital's Rule, and then plugged in a for x, and ended up getting 16a/9.
As a side note, when I type " * ", i mean "times"
Can anyone help?
