lim_(x→8)   ((x^2 −6x−16)/(∣x−8∣))

$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{8}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\:\frac{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{6x}−\mathrm{16}}{\mid\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{8}\mid} \\ $$

let f(x)=((x^2 −6x−16)/(∣x−8∣)) ⇒f(x)=((x^2 −8x +2x−16)/(∣x−8∣))  =((x(x−8)+2(x−8))/(∣x−8∣)) =((x−8)/(∣x−8∣))(x+2) so  lim_(x→8^+ )    f(x)=10  and lim_(x→8^− )   =−10  those limits are differents so f  dont have limit at x_0^    =8  but limits at left and wrigt  exist.

$${let}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{6}{x}−\mathrm{16}}{\mid{x}−\mathrm{8}\mid}\:\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{8}{x}\:+\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{16}}{\mid{x}−\mathrm{8}\mid} \\ $$$$=\frac{{x}\left({x}−\mathrm{8}\right)+\mathrm{2}\left({x}−\mathrm{8}\right)}{\mid{x}−\mathrm{8}\mid}\:=\frac{{x}−\mathrm{8}}{\mid{x}−\mathrm{8}\mid}\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)\:{so} \\ $$$${lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{8}^{+} } \:\:\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{10}\:\:{and}\:{lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{8}^{−} } \:\:=−\mathrm{10} \\ $$$${those}\:{limits}\:{are}\:{differents}\:{so}\:{f}\:\:{dont}\:{have}\:{limit}\:{at}\:{x}_{\mathrm{0}^{} } \:\:=\mathrm{8} \\ $$$${but}\:{limits}\:{at}\:{left}\:{and}\:{wrigt}\:\:{exist}. \\ $$

if  x= 8+h      , (h>0)  lim_(x→8) (((x−8)(x+2))/(∣x−8∣)) = lim_(h→0) ((h(10+h))/h) =10  if  x = 8−h  lim_(x→8) (((x−8)(x+2))/(∣x−8∣)) = lim_(h→0) ((−h(10−h))/h)         = −10  ⇒   limit doesn′t exist.

$${if}\:\:{x}=\:\mathrm{8}+{h}\:\:\:\:\:\:,\:\left({h}>\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{8}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\left({x}−\mathrm{8}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)}{\mid{x}−\mathrm{8}\mid}\:=\:\underset{{h}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{{h}\left(\mathrm{10}+{h}\right)}{{h}}\:=\mathrm{10} \\ $$$${if}\:\:{x}\:=\:\mathrm{8}−{h} \\ $$$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{8}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\left({x}−\mathrm{8}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)}{\mid{x}−\mathrm{8}\mid}\:=\:\underset{{h}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{−{h}\left(\mathrm{10}−{h}\right)}{{h}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:−\mathrm{10} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\:{limit}\:{doesn}'{t}\:{exist}. \\ $$
