Learn how to solve differential calculus problems step by step online. Find the limit (x)->(4)lim((x^4-256)/(x-4)). Factor the difference of squares x^4-256 as the product of two conjugated binomials. Factor the difference of squares \left(x^{2}-16\right) as the product of two conjugated binomials. Simplify the fraction \frac{\left(x^{2}+16\right)\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)}{x-4} by x-4. Evaluate the limit \lim_{x\to4}\left(\left(x^{2}+16\right)\left(x+4\right)\right) by replacing all occurrences of x by 4.

Final Answer

$256$

Main Topic: Differential Calculus

The derivative of a function of a real variable measures the sensitivity to change of a quantity (a function value or dependent variable) which is determined by another quantity (the independent variable). Derivatives are a fundamental tool of calculus.
