@jim_thompson5910 Could you help me with another limit problem by chance?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

go ahead

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to determine the limit and "write a simpler function that agrees with the given function at all but one point"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The limit doesn't seem to be so difficult. I believe 'a' is -5 and 'b' is -3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

both are correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the simpler function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not even sure what a simpler function is. Or is it just simplifying a function?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah just simplify that fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{ x^2-3x }{ x }\] \[ \frac{ x(x-3) }{ x }\] x-3 would be the final answer, correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, that's the simplified form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome. Thanks again! Hopefully I won't have to bug you for the rest of the night.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're doing great, so no worries
