Understand Behavior at x=0: Understand the behavior of the function as x approaches 0. We need to analyze the behavior of the numerator and the denominator separately as x approaches 0 from the positive side. The numerator involves the exponential function e^(x/2) and the hyperbolic cosine function cosh(sqrt(x)), both of which approach 1 as x approaches 0. The denominator involves x raised to the power of alpha and the fifth root of x, both of which approach 0 as x approaches 0. However, without knowing the value of alpha, we cannot determine the behavior of the denominator. We need more information about alpha to proceed.Apply L'Hôpital's Rule: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule if the limit is in an indeterminate form. Since we have a limit of the form 0/0 or infinity/infinity as x approaches 0, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule. This rule states that if the limit of f(x)/g(x) as x approaches a value c is in an indeterminate form, then the limit is equal to the limit of f'(x)/g'(x) as x approaches c, provided that this latter limit exists. We will differentiate the numerator and the denominator with respect to x.Differentiate Numerator: Differentiate the numerator e^(x/2) - cosh(sqrt(x)) with respect to x. The derivative of e^(x/2) with respect to x is (1/2)e^(x/2). The derivative of cosh(sqrt(x)) with respect to x is (1/2)(1/sqrt(x))sinh(sqrt(x)) using the chain rule. Therefore, the derivative of the numerator is: d/dx [e^(x/2) - cosh(sqrt(x))] = (1/2)e^(x/2) - (1/2)(1/sqrt(x))sinh(sqrt(x))Differentiate Denominator: Differentiate the denominator (x + root(5)(x))^alpha with respect to x. The differentiation of the denominator depends on the value of alpha. Since we do not have the value of alpha, we cannot proceed with the differentiation. Without this information, we cannot apply L'Hôpital's Rule, and thus we cannot find the limit.Need Additional Information: Recognize the need for additional information. To solve this problem, we need the value of alpha. Without it, we cannot determine the limit. The problem is incomplete as stated, and we cannot provide a final answer.
