Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{\text{x}^2-\text{x}-6}{\text{x}^3+3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3}$
Answer $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{\text{x}^2-\text{x}-6}{\text{x}^3+3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3}$ Now
$\text{x}^2-\text{x}-6$ $=\text{x}^2-3\text{x}+2\text{x}-6$
$=\text{x}(\text{x}-3)+2(\text{x}-3)$
$=(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}-3)\ \cdots(\text{i})$
Dividing
$\text{x}^3-3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3\text{ by }(\text{x}-3), \text{ we get}$ 
Thus (x - 3) is a factor of $\text{x}^3-3\text{x}^2+\text{x}-3\ \cdots(\text{ii})$
Substituting (i) and (ii) in the given expression
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}-3)}{\big(\text{x}^2+1\big)(\text{x}-3)}$
$=\frac{\text{x}+2}{\text{x}^2+1}=\frac{3+2}{9+1}=\frac{5}{10}$
$=\frac12$

Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}+1}{\text{x}+1}$
Answer $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}+1}{\text{x}+1}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^3-(-1)^3}{\text{x}-(-1)}$ [Dividing numerator and denominator by x - 1]
Applying formula $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$
Here, n = 3, a = -1
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow-1}\frac{\text{x}^3-(-1)^3}{\text{x}-(-1)}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$
$=3(-1)^{3-1}$
$=3(-1)^2$
