and they want you to tell them what the function value approaches as x approaches 0

Answer 2

calculator will be needed

Answer 3

I don't understand?

Answer 4

Given this type of problem you should have some experience with pluggin in numbers
like for example it tells you to plug in 0.1
So put it into function expression \[\frac{x^3-6x+8}{x-2}\]
so we have
\[\frac{(0.1)^3-6(0.1)+8}{0.1-2}\]

Answer 5

follow the order of operations

Answer 12

@freckles ?

Answer 13

\(\large \frac{(-0.1)^3-6(-0.1)+8}{-0.1-2}=\frac{-0.001+0.6+8}{-2.1}=\frac{8.6-0.001}{-2.1}=\frac{8.599}{-2.1}=-4.0947\)

does that narrow down the choices?

Answer 14

Answer 16

if you are having trouble with pluggin it into a calculator maybe you are missing the whole fraction part kinda

make sure when you put it in there you put (top) division sign (bottom)

Like yes it requires parenthesis
