Let's go through the limits one by one:

---

### **(a) \(\lim_{x \to 3} (x^2 + 2x - 1)\)**  
Since this function is a polynomial, we can directly substitute \(x = 3\) into the function.

\[
x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3^2 + 2(3) - 1 = 9 + 6 - 1 = 14
\]

**Answer:**  
\(\lim_{x \to 3} (x^2 + 2x - 1) = 14\)

---

### **(b) \(\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{x^4 - 18x^2 + 81}{(x - 3)^2}\)**  
Let's first simplify the numerator.

\[
x^4 - 18x^2 + 81 = (x^2 - 9)^2 = (x - 3)^2 (x + 3)^2
\]

Thus, the limit becomes:

\[
\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(x - 3)^2 (x + 3)^2}{(x - 3)^2} = \lim_{x \to 3} (x + 3)^2
\]

Now, substituting \(x = 3\):

\[
(3 + 3)^2 = 6^2 = 36
\]

**Answer:**  
\(\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{x^4 - 18x^2 + 81}{(x - 3)^2} = 36\)

---

### **(c) \(\lim_{t \to 2} \frac{\sqrt{(t + 4)(t - 2)^4}}{(3t - 6)^2}\)**  
We start by simplifying the expressions.

- \(3t - 6 = 3(t - 2)\), so \((3t - 6)^2 = 9(t - 2)^2\).
- The numerator is \(\sqrt{(t + 4)(t - 2)^4} = (t - 2)^2 \sqrt{t + 4}\).

Thus, the limit becomes:

\[
\lim_{t \to 2} \frac{(t - 2)^2 \sqrt{t + 4}}{9(t - 2)^2} = \lim_{t \to 2} \frac{\sqrt{t + 4}}{9}
\]

Now, substituting \(t = 2\):

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2 + 4}}{9} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{9}
\]

**Answer:**  
\(\lim_{t \to 2} \frac{\sqrt{(t + 4)(t - 2)^4}}{(3t - 6)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{9}\)

---

### **(d) \(\lim_{u \to 2} \frac{(u + 2)(u^2 - u - 6)}{u^2 + 4u + 4}\)**  
Let’s simplify the expressions.

- \(u^2 - u - 6 = (u - 3)(u + 2)\)
- \(u^2 + 4u + 4 = (u + 2)^2\)

Thus, the limit becomes:

\[
\lim_{u \to 2} \frac{(u + 2)(u - 3)(u + 2)}{(u + 2)^2} = \lim_{u \to 2} (u - 3)
\]

Now, substituting \(u = 2\):

\[
2 - 3 = -1
\]

**Answer:**  
\(\lim_{u \to 2} \frac{(u + 2)(u^2 - u - 6)}{u^2 + 4u + 4} = -1\)

---

## **Summary of Answers**
1. (a) \(14\)  
2. (b) \(36\)  
3. (c) \(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{9}\)  
4. (d) \(-1\)
