I forgot how to do this! Can some one teach me how to do the process again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{ x-3 }{ x^2-4x+3 }\]

OpenStudy (zpupster):

factor the denominator \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}\frac{ x-3 }{ (x-3)(x+1) }\]

OpenStudy (zpupster):

x-3 cancels

OpenStudy (zpupster):

1/x+1 = 1/2+1 = 1/3 \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (raden):

x is aprroachs to 3 not 2. @zpupster

OpenStudy (zpupster):

then 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry your right x--> 3

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes. Let x approach 3 in the expression \[\frac{ 1 }{ x+1 }.\] The result is the desired limit.
