SUMMARY
The limit as x approaches 0 of (sqrt(4+x^4)-2)/x^4 can be solved by rationalizing the numerator. This involves multiplying both the numerator and denominator by (sqrt(4+x^4)+2). Applying the difference of squares formula, (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2, simplifies the expression effectively. The final result of this limit calculation is 0.
