Math Problem Statement

Compute the limit below. lim x → 0

x 2 x − 3 + 9 x + 3

Give your answer as a fraction, if necessary. For example, if you find that the limit is
1 2 , you would enter
1 2 .

Solution

We are tasked with computing the following limit:

limx0x2x3+9x+3.\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^2}{x - 3 + 9x + 3}.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Simplify the denominator: Combine like terms in the denominator:

    x3+9x+3=x+9x=10x.x - 3 + 9x + 3 = x + 9x = 10x.

    Therefore, the expression becomes:

    limx0x210x.\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^2}{10x}.

  2. Simplify the fraction: Cancel out xx from the numerator and denominator (note that this is valid as long as x0x \neq 0):

    x210x=x10.\frac{x^2}{10x} = \frac{x}{10}.

  3. Take the limit: Now, compute the limit of x10\frac{x}{10} as x0x \to 0:

    limx0x10=010=0.\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x}{10} = \frac{0}{10} = 0.

Thus, the value of the limit is:

0.\boxed{0}.
