How do you evaluate the limit root6(2x-14)62x14 as x approaches 77?

We can reason as follows:

As xx gets closer and closer to color(red)77,

2x2x gets closer and closer to 2xxcolor(red)(7)2×7 which is color(orange)1414, so

2x-142x14 gets closer and closer to color(orange)(14)-141414 which is color(green)00, and

root(6)(2x-14)62x14 gets closer and closer to root(6)color(green)060 which is 00,

In the end we got the same thing as we would get by substituting 77 for xx.
