In this question, we apply limit concepts to get the desired limit, finding that the correct options are: A, D and E, leading to the result of the limit being \frac{1}{6}.

Limit:

The limit given is:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 7} \frac{\sqrt{x+2}-3}{x-7}

If we apply the usual thing, of just replacing x by 7, the denominator will be 0, so this is not possible.

When we have a term with roots, we rationalize it, multiplying both the denominator and the denominator by the conjugate.

Multiplication by the conjugate:

The term with the root is:

\sqrt{x+2} - 3

It's conjugate is:

\sqrt{x+2}+3

Multiplying numerator and denominator by the conjugate, meaning option A is correct:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 7} \frac{\sqrt{x+2}-3}{x-7} \times \frac{\sqrt{x+2}+3}{\sqrt{x+2}+3}

We do this because at the numerator we can apply:

(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2

Thus

\lim_{x \rightarrow 7} \frac{\sqrt{x+2}-3}{x-7} \times \frac{\sqrt{x+2}+3}{\sqrt{x+2}+3} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 7} \frac{(\sqrt{x+2})^2 - 3^2}{(x-7)(\sqrt{x+2}+3)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 7}\frac{x+2-9}{(x-7)(\sqrt{x+2}+3)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 7}\frac{x-7}{(x-7)(\sqrt{x+2}+3)}

Thus, we can simplify the factors of x - 7, meaning that option D is correct, and we get:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 7} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2}+3}

Now, we just calculate the limit:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 7} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2}+3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{7+2}+3} = \frac{1}{3+3} = \frac{1}{6}

Thus, option E is also correct.

Using a limit calculator, as given by the image below, we have that 1/6 is the correct answer.
