<s>[INST] The limit : $ \lim _{x \to \infty } \sqrt{x^2 +x} - \sqrt{x^2 +1} $ The limit: 
$ \lim _{x \to \infty } \sqrt{x^2 +x} - \sqrt{x^2 +1} $
(A) is 0 (B) is $\frac 1 2 $ (C) is 2 (D) does not exist
Is doing it with Binomial expansion and cancelling the terms only way? 
 [/INST] $$ \lim _{x \to \infty } (\sqrt{x^2 +x} - \sqrt{x^2 +1} )=\lim _{x \to \infty } (\sqrt{x^2 +x} - \sqrt{x^2 +1} )\frac{\sqrt{x^2 +x} + \sqrt{x^2 +1}}{\sqrt{x^2 +x} + \sqrt{x^2 +1}}=\lim _{x \to \infty } \frac{x-1}{\sqrt{x^2 +x} + \sqrt{x^2 +1}}=...=1/2$$
(if you need more I could finish it)
