Answer to Problem 41RE

  limx2f(x)=13

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The function f is

  f(x)=limx2x24x38

Concept used:

Let f(x) be a function defined on an interval that contains x=a , except possibly at x=a

Then

  limxaf(x)=L

Calculation:

Let f(x) be a function defined on an interval that contains x=a , except possibly at x=a

  limxaf(x)=L

If for every number >0 there is some number δ>0 such that

  |f(x)L|<whenever0<|xa|<δ

Other definition of limit

Let f(x) be a function defined on an interval that contains x=a

  limx2f(x)=limx2x24x38factorx38=(x2)(x2+2x+4)x24=(x2)(x+2)limx2f(x)=limx2(x2)(x+2)(x2)(x2+2x+4)limx2f(x)=limx2(x+2)(x2+2x+4)applybylimitlimx2f(x)=(2+2)(22+2(2)+4)limx2f(x)=4(4+4+4)limx2f(x)=13
