Answer

$-13$

Work Step by Step

Recall that if $ f $ is a polynomial function, then we have $\lim_\limits{x\to a}f(x)=f(a)$. In order to to find the limit, we will plug $ a $ into the function and then simplify. $\lim_\limits{x\to 9} \dfrac{\sqrt x+10}{\sqrt x-10}=\dfrac{\lim_\limits{x\to 9} \sqrt x+10}{\lim_\limits{x\to 10} x-10}$ or, $=\dfrac{13}{-1}$ or, $=-13$
