The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$\displaystyle\lim_{x \to1} \frac{- \sqrt{25-x^{2}} - \left(-\sqrt{24}\right)}{x-1}$
$ = \displaystyle\lim_{x \to1} \frac{\sqrt{24} - \sqrt{25-x^{2}}}{x-1} \times\frac{\sqrt{24} + \sqrt{25-x^{2}}}{\sqrt{24} + \sqrt{25-x^{2}}} $
$= \displaystyle\lim_{x \to1} \frac{x^{2} - 1}{\left(x-1\right) \left[\sqrt{24} + \sqrt{25 -x^{2}}\right]}$
$ = \displaystyle\lim_{x \to1} \frac{x+1}{ \left[\sqrt{24} + \sqrt{25-x^{2}}\right]} $
$= \frac{2}{2\sqrt{24}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{6}} $

Limits And Derivatives

Mathematically, a limit is explained as a value that a function approaches as the input, and it produces some value. Limits are essential in calculus and mathematical analysis and are used to define derivatives, integrals, and continuity.
