The expression in the image is the following limit problem:

$\lim_{{x \to 2}} \left( \frac{x^2 - 4}{\sqrt{3x - 9} - \sqrt{x + 2}} \right)$

Step-by-step solution:

1. Simplify the numerator: The numerator is $x^2 - 4$, which is a difference of squares: $x^2 - 4 = (x - 2)(x + 2)$

2. Substitute $x = 2$ directly: When we substitute $x = 2$ into the expression, both the numerator and denominator become 0, which gives us an indeterminate form $\frac{0}{0}$. This means we need to simplify the expression further using algebraic techniques like rationalizing the denominator.

3. Rationalize the denominator: The denominator is $\sqrt{3x - 9} - \sqrt{x + 2}$. To simplify, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: $\frac{x^2 - 4}{\sqrt{3x - 9} - \sqrt{x + 2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3x - 9} + \sqrt{x + 2}}{\sqrt{3x - 9} + \sqrt{x + 2}}$

   This simplifies to: $\frac{(x - 2)(x + 2) \cdot (\sqrt{3x - 9} + \sqrt{x + 2})}{(3x - 9) - (x + 2)}$

4. Simplify the denominator: $(3x - 9) - (x + 2) = 3x - 9 - x - 2 = 2x - 11$

   So the expression now becomes: $\frac{(x - 2)(x + 2)(\sqrt{3x - 9} + \sqrt{x + 2})}{2x - 11}$

5. Evaluate the limit as $x \to 2$: Now we substitute $x = 2$ into the simplified expression:

   • The term $x - 2$ in the numerator will cancel out with the denominator.
   • The remaining terms involve evaluating the square roots and linear terms at $x = 2$.
