lim (√x - 1)/ (x -1)
x->1
=lim 1/ (√x +1), reason:x-1 = (√x+1)(√x-1)
x->1
= 1/2

Because the limit of the numerator and denominator each approach 0, you can use L'hopital's Rule.

f(x) = √x - 1
g(x) = x - 1

lim f'(x) / g'(x)
x->1

lim [ (1/2) * x^(-1/2) ] / 1
x->1

= 1/2 * 1 / 1

= 1/2

Depends on if that's √x - 1 or √(x-1).
