How would I go about solving the following:
Lim 2x squared + 5x +2
       ----------------
       x squared + 2x -8
x-> -2

So it looks a bit better, we're talking about:

$$\lim_{x \rightarrow -2} \frac{2x^2 + 5x + 2}{x^2 + 2x - 8}$$

I started by factoring it and got
$$\left[ (x+4)(x+5) \right]\div\left[ (x-4)(x+2) \right]$$
The think is that I can not get rid of anything on the bottom. What do I do.
