Lim. 3t^2-7t++2/2-t X→2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this x->2 or t->2

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

can u factorize the numerator ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-2)(x-1/3)/2-t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I canceled out the t-2) and got left with (x-1/3) I pluged to in back to it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u use L' Hospital rule, differentiate both numerator and denominator

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

hmmm ... you question doesnt seem to be clear.. r u trying to find the limit of \[\lim_{t \rightarrow 2}\frac{ 3t^{2} -7t + 2 }{ 2 -t }\]??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... thats what it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I couldn't find how to do that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ans is -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 5/3

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

\[\lim_{t \rightarrow 2}\frac{ (2 -t)(1 - 3t) }{ (2-t) }\]\[\lim_{t \rightarrow 2} (1-3t)\]

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

now plug 2 to ( 1 - 3t) thats the limit you want...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait shouldn't it be a ffraction?

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

which is -5... i think you made your mistake when you factorize the numerator... try to do it again sometime..:)

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

u can cancel out ( 2-t) from numerator and denominator.....so... the fraction is no more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did the slide and divide method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u know 0/0 form of limit when a limit get in to 0/0 form after put the x->2 value then L 'Hospital rule is apply ,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I divided it by 3 so I should get 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH, THAT is what I forgot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 1/(1/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait.. no it's not.

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

if u use slide and divide.... u divide 3t^2 by 3 which will get t^2 then u should multiply if by the constande which is 2x3 = 6 so... u will get t^2 -7t + 6 did u come up to here ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plz see this http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/LHospitalsRule.aspx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ you aren't helping Jaga.. I've already been to that website. Thank you though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. I've gotten up to that point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then I did (x-6)(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I divided both by 3 so I ended up with (x-2)(x-1/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you know differentiation the u can use L hospital rule limit(3t^2-7t+2)/(2-t) t->2 put 2 in the limit then u got 0/0 form then differentiate both numerator and denominator one time then u got limt(6t-7)/(-1) t->2 then u put 2 in the limit then u got -5

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

u have forgot the last rule of slide and divide...

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

Once it’s simplified, if there’s a fraction left, the denominator becomes the coefficient of the variable term. ANSWER: (x-2)(x-1/3) ( x-2) (3x - 1)

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

now u can get the same answer :)
