OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is x-3 under the square root or just x?

OpenStudy (appleduardo):

nope, is (√x) - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then simply plug 1 in for x.

OpenStudy (appleduardo):

m but ill get 0 in the numerator, and -2 in the denominator, so how can i find the limit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the limit. What is 0 divided by anything?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 divided by anything is 0. The limit is 0.
