wait i'll correct it
check it now
Take x common from denominator and then rationalise the remaining expression to get the answer as − 4 8 1

Lets call the limit as F .
F = x → 0 lim 2 x 2 3 8 + x 2 − 3 8 + x = x → 0 lim 2 x 1 − 3 1 + 8 x
Using Binomial approximation 3 1 + 8 x = 1 + 2 4 x as x → 0 and thus F = 4 8 − 1 ∴ 1 + 4 8 = 7
