Solution

Certainly, let’s solve these limit problems step-by-step.


Problem 1:

limx3x27x+12x29x\lim_{{x \to 3}} \frac{x^2 - 7x + 12}{x^2 - 9x}

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Factor the Numerator and Denominator: x27x+12=(x3)(x4)x^2 - 7x + 12 = (x - 3)(x - 4) x29x=x(x9)x^2 - 9x = x(x - 9)

  2. Rewrite the Expression: Substitute the factored forms: (x3)(x4)x(x9)\frac{(x - 3)(x - 4)}{x(x - 9)}

  3. Evaluate the Limit by Substitution: As x3x \to 3, substituting x=3x = 3 directly would make the denominator zero, creating an indeterminate form. To address this, we simplify the expression further.

  4. Simplify and Attempt to Cancel Out Terms: Unfortunately, no further simplification is possible here, so this limit doesn't cancel cleanly.
