LIMITS: Click to see question

OpenStudy (amenah8):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow -2} (x^2+1)/(3x^2-2x+5)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should be able to just substitute x = -2 and evaluate.

OpenStudy (amenah8):

ah, okay, thank you so much! i'm a little new to limits. when i put in zero and it didn't work, and i couldn't figure out how to factor it, i got stuck. i forgot about substitution!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem. Unfortunately, limits are not always this easy :)

OpenStudy (amenah8):

so it is 5/21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup. Well done.
