Answer 5

first plug in the value given as the value that x tends to in place of x in given limit. in this case it is given that x->2. so plug in 2 in x(x-1)(x+1) and find the value. in some cases when u plug in the values that x tends to, u get zero. in that cases u try to simplify as much as possible and then plug in the value and simplify.
Let me give u an example for such cases.
lim x^2-9/x-3
x->3
when u plug in x=3 u get
(3)^2-9/3-3=9-9/0=0/0-indeterminate.
x^2-9/x-3=(x-3)(x+3)/(x-3)=x+3
nw plug in 3 , u get
3+3=6.
so that is the answer for question
lim x^2-9/x-3
x->3.
Does that help? @christos

Answer 6

Sorry if I have confused u

Answer 7

Yes, the answers is 6. The way to find it was described by @ajprincess. When the function is continuous you just have to plug in the value. However, if the function isn't continous on the specific point you'll try to simplify the function. After the simplification you'll have a new function that is continuous, so you can just plug in the value to find the limit.

6 or lim6 ?
