Math Problem Statement

Предел lim_{x→4} (x - 4) / (x^2 - 2x - 8)

Solution

The image shows a mathematical expression written in Russian. The expression appears to represent a limit:

limx4x4x22x8\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{x - 4}{x^2 - 2x - 8}

To solve this, let's first simplify the denominator:

x22x8=(x4)(x+2)x^2 - 2x - 8 = (x - 4)(x + 2)

So, the original expression becomes:

limx4x4(x4)(x+2)\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{x - 4}{(x - 4)(x + 2)}

We can cancel the (x4)(x - 4) terms (provided x4x \neq 4):

limx41x+2\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{1}{x + 2}

Now, we substitute x=4x = 4 into the simplified expression:

14+2=16\frac{1}{4 + 2} = \frac{1}{6}

Thus, the limit is:

16\frac{1}{6}
