Math Problem Statement

Calculate the limit as x approaches 2 for the expression (x^2 + 2x - 8) / (2x^2 - 7x + 6).

Solution

The limit of the given expression limx2x2+2x82x27x+6\lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{x^2 + 2x - 8}}{{2x^2 - 7x + 6}} is 66.

Would you like any further details on the solution? Here are 5 related questions you might find interesting:

  1. How do you factor the numerator and denominator of the expression?
  2. What happens if the denominator were to be zero at x=2x = 2?
  3. Can this limit be solved using L'Hopital's Rule?
  4. How would you handle a similar limit where the function is not rational?
  5. How can limits be used in real-world applications, like physics or engineering?

Tip: Always check for indeterminate forms like 00\frac{0}{0} before applying L'Hopital's Rule in limits.
