Question

Evaluate the following one sided limits: $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2^-}\frac{\text{x}-3}{\text{x}^2-4}.$

✓

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2^-}\frac{\text{x}-3}{(\text{x}^2-4)}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{(2-\text{h})-3}{(2-\text{h)}^2-4^2}$ $\Big[\because\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(2-\text{h)}\Big]$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{(2-\text{h}-3)}{(2-\text{h}+2)(2-\text{h}-2)}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{-1-\text{h}}{(4-\text{h})(-\text{h})}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\frac{1}{\text{h}}+1}{(4-\text{h})}$ $=\frac{\frac{1}{0}+1}{4}=\infty$
