<s>[INST] can someone explain this limit i have,
$$\lim_{x\to 0}  \frac {\sqrt{x+49}-7}{3-\sqrt{x+9}}$$ the correct answer is $-\frac{3}{7}$ and in my case the result is $\frac{7}{3}$ i don't understand. 
i tried this
$\lim_{x\to 0}  \frac {\sqrt{x+49}-7}{3-\sqrt{x+9}}$=$\lim_{x\to 0}  \frac {\sqrt{x+49}-7}{3-\sqrt{x+9}}.\frac {\sqrt{x+49}+7}{\sqrt{x+49}+7}.\frac {3+\sqrt{x+9}}{3+\sqrt{x+9}}$=
$\lim_{x\to 0}  \frac {x+49-49}{9-x+9}.\frac {\sqrt{x+49}+7}{3+\sqrt{x+9}}= \frac {x(\sqrt{x+49}-7)}{x(3-\sqrt{x+9})}=\frac{14}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$ i don't know what is the error! 
 [/INST] You can also write your expression as
$$\frac{7}{3}\frac{\sqrt{1+x/49}-1}{1-\sqrt{1+x/9}}$$
If $x$ is small, then $\sqrt{1+x/49}=1+x/98, \sqrt{1+x/9}=1+x/18$
and finally we have $-3/7.$
