Answer

$\lim_{x\to0.5^-}\sqrt\frac{x+2}{x+1}=\sqrt3$

Work Step by Step

$$\lim_{x\to-0.5^-}\sqrt\frac{x+2}{x+1}$$ To find one-side limit algebraically, we still apply the limit laws like for the two-side limits as normal. $$\lim_{x\to-0.5^-}\sqrt\frac{x+2}{x+1}=\sqrt\frac{-0.5+2}{-0.5+1}=\sqrt\frac{1.5}{0.5}=\sqrt3$$ Therefore, $\lim_{x\to0.5^-}\sqrt\frac{x+2}{x+1}=\sqrt3$
