Evaluate: $\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^3+3 x^2-9 x-2}{x^3-x-6}$
✓
Answer
We have to find the value of $\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^3+3 x^2-9 x-2}{x^3-x-6}$
We have,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^3+3 x^2-9 x-2}{x^3-x-6}$
Divide $x^3+3 x^2-9 x-2$ by $x^3-x-6$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^3+3 x^2-9 x-2}{x^3-x-6}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} 1+\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{3 x^2-8 x+4}{x^3-x-6}$
$=1+\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{3 x^2-2 x-6 x+4}{x^3-x-6}$
$=1+\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{3 x^2-2 x-6 x+4}{x^3-x-6}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^3+3 x^2-9 x-2}{x^3-x-6}=1+\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{(3 x-2)(x-2)}{x^3-x-6}$
Divide $x^3-x-6$ by $x-2$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^3+3 x^2-9 x-2}{x^3-x-6}=1+\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{(3 x-2)(x-2)}{(x-2)\left(x^2+2 x+3\right)}$
$=1+\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{(3 x-2)}{\left(x^2+2 x+3\right)}$
$=1+\frac{3 \times 2-2}{2^2+2 \times 2+3}$
$=1+\frac{4}{11}$
$=\frac{15}{11}$
