Q. f(x)=x+2x23x+2 f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x^{2}-3 x+2} \newlineWe want to find limx3f(x) \lim _{x \rightarrow 3} f(x) .\newlineWhat happens when we use direct substitution?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) The limit exists, and we found it!\newline(B) The limit doesn't exist (probably an asymptote).\newline(C) The result is indeterminate.
  1. Direct Substitution: Let's first try direct substitution by plugging x=3x = 3 into the function f(x)f(x) to see what we get.\newlinef(3)=3+2323×3+2f(3) = \frac{3+2}{3^2 - 3\times3 + 2}
  2. Performing Calculations: Now, let's perform the calculations: f(3)=599+2f(3) = \frac{5}{9 - 9 + 2}
  3. Simplifying the Expression: Simplify the expression:\newlinef(3)=5(0+2)f(3) = \frac{5}{(0 + 2)}\newlinef(3)=52f(3) = \frac{5}{2}
  4. Existence of the Limit: Since we were able to find a value by direct substitution without encountering division by 00 or any other undefined operations, the limit exists and we have found it.
