ok I noticed that $$n \ge 0$$ so we have all positive numbers and with increasing values of $$n$$ this will go converge to zero

I can only show this by looking at a graph of the the expression. apparently the expression would have to rewritten to take the limit?

Hint: Rationalize the numerator.
 
the expression isn't a fraction??
 
Any number $x$ can be written as the fraction $\frac{x}{1}$.
 
ok will finish later got to catch a city bus;)
 
Was the edit post option taken out?

So
$$\displaystyle
\frac{\sqrt{n+47}-\sqrt{n}}{1}
\cdot\frac{\sqrt{n+47}+\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{n+47}+\sqrt{n}}
=\frac{47}{\sqrt{n+47}+\sqrt{n}} \\
\lim_{{n}\to{\infty}}\frac{47}{\sqrt{n+47}+\sqrt{n}}=0 $$
 
I see the edit post option here, but in any case, you have nothing to edit since you have no typos and your solution is correct. :D
 
I wanted to remove post 3 and 5
