Math Problem Statement

lim x → 2

− 3 x 2 + 4 x

Solution

The expression you've provided is:

limx2(3x2+4x)\lim_{{x \to 2}} \left( -3x^2 + 4x \right)

Let's break it down and solve it step by step:

  1. The limit notation means we want to evaluate the function 3x2+4x-3x^2 + 4x as xx approaches 2.
  2. Since this is a polynomial, the limit can be evaluated directly by substituting x=2x = 2 into the expression.

Now, let's substitute x=2x = 2 into the function:

3(2)2+4(2)=3(4)+8=12+8=4-3(2)^2 + 4(2) = -3(4) + 8 = -12 + 8 = -4

Thus, the limit is:

limx2(3x2+4x)=4\lim_{{x \to 2}} \left( -3x^2 + 4x \right) = -4

Tip: For polynomial functions, limits can always be found by direct substitution if the function is continuous at the point of interest.
