Find the following limit algebraically:

OpenStudy (berrymox):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}\frac{ \sin(x ^{2}-4) }{ (x ^{2}-4) }\]

OpenStudy (berrymox):

I don't see how to cancel sin, even after multiplying by (x^2+4) / (x^2+4)

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Limit is 1

OpenStudy (berrymox):

I know it's 1

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

This is a 0/0 form

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

So you see that if it's a 0/0 form then sinx/x tends to 1

OpenStudy (berrymox):

I know, but I still have to show the work.

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Simply write that since it is easily visible that it's a 0/0 form and sinx/x limit is 1.

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

If you know L'hospitals rule?

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

You may show by that way too!
