Question Number 155812 by zainaltanjung last updated on 05/Oct/21

Use algebraic simplifications to help  find the limits, if they exist.  1). lim_(x→2)  ((x^2 −4)/(x−2))  2). lim_(x→1)    ((x^2 −x)/(2x^2 +5x−7))  3). lim_(x→1)    ((3x^2 −13x−10)/(2x^2 −7x−15))  4). lim_(x→1)    ((3x^2 −13x−10)/(2x^2 −7x−15))  5).  lim_(x→2)   ((x^3 −8)/(x^2 −4))

1). lim_(x→2)  ((x^2 −4)/(x−2))  =lim_(x→2) (((x−2)(x+2))/(x−2))=lim_(x→2) (x+2)=2+2=4  2). lim_(x→1)    ((x^2 −x)/(2x^2 +5x−7))=lim_(x→1) ((x(x−1))/((x−1)(2x+7)))  =lim_(x→1) (x/(2x+7))=(1/(2(1)+7))=(1/9)  3). lim_(x→1)    ((3x^2 −13x−10)/(2x^2 −7x−15))=((3(1)^2 −13(1)−10)/(2(1)^2 −7(1)−15))=((−20)/(−20))=1  You can calculate limit directly  because limit of denominator≠0  = lim_(x→1)    ((3x^2 −13x−10)/(2x^2 −7x−15))  4). lim_(x→1)    ((3x^2 −13x−10)/(2x^2 −7x−15))      Same as Q3  5).  lim_(x→2)   ((x^3 −8)/(x^2 −4))=lim_(x→2) (((x−2)(x^2 +2x+4))/((x−2)(x+2)))  =((2^2 +2.2+4)/(2+2))=((12)/4)=3

Mr Sindhi x^3 −2=(x−2)(x^2 +2x+4).

$${Mr}\:{Sindhi}\:{x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{2}=\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{4}\right). \\ $$
