Remind me how I would solve the following limit: \[\ \Huge \lim_{x \to \2} \frac{x^2-x+6}{x-2} \]

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

w8 are you sure that you put down the correct equation? o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be \[\ \Huge 2 \] Not \[\ \Huge \2.... \]

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

oh i meant for x2-x+6 because usually for these problems you would factor it out and simplify it in order to not let the equation be unidentified at a specific point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's correct

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

then this would have no limit...

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

the right and left hand limits are not same so there is no limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How is it DNE? (By the way the answer key in the back of the book states DNE). I'm just not sure how you can tell that it's DNE

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

because the right and left hand limits are not same

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

to find out the right hand limit put in a number into the equation that is barely greater than 2 and for the left hand put a number that is barely smaller than 2

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

and i'm not really sure what DME stands for so i cant help you sorry :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DNE= Does Not Exist

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

ohhhh then as i told you b4, limits can only exist when the right and left hand limits are same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thanks for the help

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

np :)
