Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the limits given in the image for different values of x.

Solution

Let's go through each limit problem one by one.

Problem 1

The limit is given by: limxx0x23x+24x3x2\lim_{x \to x_0} \frac{x^2 - 3x + 2}{4 - x - 3x^2} with three different values for x0x_0:

  • x0=1x_0 = -1
  • x0=1x_0 = 1
  • x0=x_0 = \infty

For each case, we would substitute x0x_0 and simplify if possible.

Problem 2

The limit is: limx0sin4x2xcos3x\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 4x}{2x \cos 3x} This problem likely involves trigonometric identities or simplifications, especially around sin(x)/x=1\sin(x)/x = 1 as x0x \to 0.

Problem 3

This limit is: limx(3x+23x4)2x\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{3x + 2}{3x - 4} \right)^{2 - x} This limit might involve exponential decay as xx \to \infty, depending on the behavior of the base.

Problem 4

The limit is: limx4x+124xx2+2x8\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{\sqrt{x + 12} - \sqrt{4 - x}}{x^2 + 2x - 8} This is a difference of square roots divided by a polynomial. We might need to rationalize the numerator or simplify the denominator.
