Calculus/limit with square roots

Question
I need to know how to solve the following limit:

lim as x->0 square root (2-t) + square root of (2) / t.

I know the answer is -square root of (2)/4.  I just can't figure out how you get there.

Answer
Let's define SR(a) as square root (a).
So if you meant :
Lim{t->0} [ SR(2-t)+SR(2) ]/t Then the answer is ∞
& if you meant
Lim{t->0} SR(2-t)+SR(2)/t, the answer is still ∞
As well as Lim{t->0} SR(2-t)+SR(2/t), we still get ∞
Sorry , no room for -SR(2)/4. Chick it again.
I'll be more than happy to explain it to you.
