Right Hand Limit=Left Hand Limit=Value  lim_(h→0) (√(x+h))=lim_(h→0) (√(x−h))=(√x),  for x∈(0,∞)  lim_(h→0) (√(x+h))=(√x),  for x=0  Hence f(x)=(√x) is continous on [0,∞)

$$\mathrm{Right}\:\mathrm{Hand}\:\mathrm{Limit}=\mathrm{Left}\:\mathrm{Hand}\:\mathrm{Limit}=\mathrm{Value} \\ $$$$\underset{{h}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\sqrt{{x}+{h}}=\underset{{h}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\sqrt{{x}−{h}}=\sqrt{{x}},\:\:\mathrm{for}\:{x}\in\left(\mathrm{0},\infty\right) \\ $$$$\underset{{h}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\sqrt{{x}+{h}}=\sqrt{{x}},\:\:\mathrm{for}\:{x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Hence}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\sqrt{{x}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{continous}\:\mathrm{on}\:\left[\mathrm{0},\infty\right) \\ $$
