Answer

$-\frac{1}{6}$

Work Step by Step

$\lim\limits_{t \to 5}\frac{3-\sqrt{t+4}}{t-5}=\lim\limits_{t \to 5}\frac{3-\sqrt{t+4}}{t-5}\times \frac{3+\sqrt{t+4}}{3+\sqrt{t+4}}$ $=\lim\limits_{t \to 5}\frac{9-(t+4)}{(t-5)(3+\sqrt{t+4}}$ $=\lim\limits_{t \to 5}\frac{-(t-5)}{(t-5)(3+\sqrt{t+4})}$ $=\lim\limits_{t \to 5}\frac{-1}{3+\sqrt{t+4}}$ $=\frac{-1}{3+\sqrt{5+4}}$ $=\frac{-1}{3+3}$ $=-\frac{1}{6}$
