Apply a 3 b 3 = ( a b ) ( a 2 + a b + b 2 ) \color{#3D99F6}{a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)} on numerator and then applying a 2 b 2 = ( a + b ) ( a b ) \color{#3D99F6}{a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)} .


2 x 3 128 = 2 ( x 3 4 3 ) 2x^{3}-128=2(\color{#D61F06}{x}^3-\color{#D61F06}{4}^3 ) = 2 ( x 2 4 2 ) ( x 2 + 4 x + 16 ) =2(\color{#20A900}{\sqrt x}^2-\color{#20A900}{\sqrt 4}^2)(x^2+4x+16) = 2 ( x + 2 ) ( x 2 ) ( x 2 + 4 x + 16 ) =2(\sqrt x+2)(\sqrt x-2)(x^2+4x+16) Limit simplifies to: lim x 4 ( 2 ( x + 2 ) ( x 2 + 4 x + 16 ) ) \Large\lim_{x\rightarrow 4}(2(\sqrt x+2)(x^2+4x+16)) = 384 \huge=\boxed{\color{#007fff}{384}}

Substituting x = 4 x=4 then limit takes the form 0 0 \frac{0}{0} .The derivative of the limit is 6 x 2 ( 1 2 × 1 x ) \dfrac{6x^2}{(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}})} . By L'Hopital's Rule , substituting the derivative of the limit with x = 4 x=4 , we get the required limit as 96 × 4 = 384 96 \times 4 = \boxed{384} .
