Question

limit of (x-1)^2(x+1) as x approaches 3

Answer 1

is there any reason you just cant plug in 3?

Answer 2

^^ ya substitute 3 for x

Answer 3

i dont think. there's any steps i would have to show?

Answer 4

do you mean this?

Answer 5

note: unless ding so makes you devide by zero, take a sqrt( a negative number ), or take a ln( negative number ), then you can plug in for x

Answer 6

you can show what ever step you would in algebra.

Answer 7

(3-1)^2 * (3+1) = 2^2 * 4 .....

Answer 8

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}(x-1)^2(x+1)\]

Answer 9

sorry not 2 but 3

Answer 10

3 or 2? Not that it makes a dif here, just plug in for x

Answer 11

ahh ...

Answer 12

now if it where lim x->3 of 1/(3-x) then you could not just plug in for x because you would get 1/0

Answer 13

were

Answer 14

find the indicated one-sided limit. if the limiting value is inifinte indicate whther is is \[+\infty or -\],
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 4} (3x-9)\]
