how to solve: lim x->2 (x^2-4x+4)/(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you use the distributive property.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what math is this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limits and continuity

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

factor the numerator then simpify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Very SImple.. \[\lim_{x->2}\frac{ (x-2)^2 }{ (x-2) }=> \lim_{x->2}(x-2) = 0\] Therefore the limit doesn't exist because If x is near to 2 but a little higher, both these are positive so you get +∞ And, if x is close to 2 but a little lower, the top is positive but the bottom is negative so you get - ∞

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+??? = + infinity -??? = -Infinity

thanks, thats what I started doing, but did not like the 0 ;)
