Exactly what I did.
For any m , n > 0 , we can evaluate general limit x → 0 lim x 2 + n 2 − n x 2 + m 2 − m . We can apply L'Hopital's Rule here: ⋯ = x → 0 lim ( x 2 + n 2 ) 2 1 − n ( x 2 + m 2 ) 2 1 − m = x → 0 lim 2 1 ( x 2 + n 2 ) − 2 1 ⋅ 2 x 2 1 ( x 2 + m 2 ) − 2 1 ⋅ 2 x = x → 0 lim ( x 2 + n 2 ) − 2 1 ( x 2 + m 2 ) − 2 1 = ( 0 2 + n 2 ) − 2 1 ( 0 2 + m 2 ) − 2 1 = ( n 2 ) − 2 1 ( m 2 ) − 2 1 = 1 / n 1 / m = m n
Here, we have m = 2 0 1 4 and n = 2 0 1 5 , so limit is 2 0 1 4 2 0 1 5 , hence our answer is 2 0 1 5 − 2 0 1 4 = 1
