SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the limit of the expression (1/sqrt(1+s)-1)/(s). A participant attempted to simplify the expression by subtracting the numerator, resulting in 1/sqrt(1+5). However, the lack of a specified limit to evaluate led to confusion, indicating that the problem requires clarification on the limit's target value.

As far as I can tell, this is not a limit problem. You have not specified what limit you are trying to find. Perhaps you could try again and include such relevant information.
