Answer

$$\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)=\infty$$

Work Step by Step

$$\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{5-x^2}{\sqrt{g(x)}}=0$$ $$\frac{\lim_{x\to-2}(5-x^2)}{\sqrt{\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)}}=0$$ $$\frac{5-(-2)^2}{\sqrt{\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)}}=0$$ $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)}}=0$$ For $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)}}$ to equal $0$ and also since $\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)\ge0$, $\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)$ needs to approach $\infty$. $$\lim_{x\to-2}g(x)=\infty$$
