we have x^2 −6x +5 =x^2 −x −5(x−1)=x(x−1)−5(x−1) =(x−1)(x−5) ⇒lim_(x→1) (((x−1)(x−5))/(x^2 +ax +b)) =2 ⇒1+a+b =0 ⇒a+b=−1 1root of x^2 +ax +b ⇒x^2 +ax+b=(x−1)(x +α) ⇒ x^2 +αx−x+α =x^2 +ax +b ⇒α−1=a and b=α ⇒ x^2 +ax +b =(x−1)(x+1+a) after simplification in limit we get ((−4)/(2+a)) =2 ⇒4+2a=−4 ⇒2a=−8 ⇒a=−4 ⇒b=−1−a =−1+4 =3 ⇒ a=−4 and b=3

lim_(x→1) ((x^2 −6x+5)/(x^2 +ax+b))=2 Let x^2 +ax+b=(x−1)(x−b) ...(1) lim_(x→1) (((x−1)(x−5))/((x−1)(x−b)))=2 ((1−5)/(1−b))=2 1−b=−2⇒b=3 ∴ from (1), a=−(1+b)=−4

$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{1}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\:\:\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{5}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ax}+{b}}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${Let}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ax}+{b}=\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}−{b}\right)\:...\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{1}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\:\:\frac{\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{5}\right)}{\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}−{b}\right)}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{1}−{b}}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}−{b}=−\mathrm{2}\Rightarrow{b}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{from}\:\left(\mathrm{1}\right), \\ $$$${a}=−\left(\mathrm{1}+{b}\right)=−\mathrm{4} \\ $$
