    18 and 20 are correct

    22. correction:

    lim((sqrt(4x+1)-3)/(x-2),x->2)

    rationalize numerator:
    ((sqrt(4x+1)-3)(sqrt(4x+1)+3))/((x-2)(sqrt(4x+1)-3))

    =((4x+1)-9)/((x-2)(sqrt(4x+1)+3))

    =(4x-8)/((x-2)(sqrt(4x+1)+3))

    =(4(x-2))/((x-2)(sqrt(4x+1)+3)).......simplify

    = 4/(sqrt(4x+1)+3)

    then

    lim(4/(sqrt(4x+1)+3),x->2)=4/(sqrt(4*2+1)+3)=4/(sqrt(9)+3)=4/(3+3)=4/6=2/3

    I see my error. The denominator should include positive 3 not negative 3.
