Question
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}-64}{\text{x}^2-16}$
✓

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}-64}{\text{x}^2-16}$$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}-4^3}{\text{x}^2-4^2}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{4}}\frac{\frac{\text{x}^{3}-4^3}{\text{x}-4}}{\frac{\text{x}^2-4^2}{\text{x}-4}}$ [Dividing numerator and denominator by x - 4]
$=\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^3-4^3}{\text{x}-4}}{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^2-4}{\text{x}-4}}$
Applying formula $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$ in numerator and $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{m}}-\text{a}^{\text{m}}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{ma}^{\text{m}-1}$ in denominator
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=3,\text{m}=2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^3-4^3}{\text{x}-4}}{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}\frac{\text{x}^2-4}{\text{x}-4}}=\frac{3(4)^{3-1}}{2(4)^{2-1}}=\frac{3(4)^2}{2(4)}$
$=6$
