Find limit as x approaches two of quantity x squared minus four divided by quantity x minus two. you must show your work or explain your work in words.

4

Step-by-step explanation:

lim           (x^2 - 4) / (x - 2)

x --> 2

When we plug x =2, we get

(2^2 - 4) / (2 - 2)

= (4 - 4)/(2 - 2)

= 0 /0

Which is undefined.

Now we have to use L'hospital rule. Which says we need to differentiate the numerator and the denominator and apply the limit.

When we differentiate x^2 -4, we get 2x

When we differentiate x -2, we get 1

lim        2x/1

x --> 2

Now apply, the limit x = 2

2(2)/1

= 4/1

= 4

Therefore, limit of this function is 4, when x tends to 2.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.
