Identify the function: Identify the function g(x) that we are finding the limit for as x approaches 0. The function is g(x)=4x+34x2−15.
Check direct substitution: Check if direct substitution of x=0 into g(x) results in an indeterminate form. Substituting x=0 into g(x) gives g(0)=(−15)/(3)=−5, which is a determinate value.
Evaluate limit at x=0: Since direct substitution does not result in an indeterminate form, the limit of g(x) as x approaches 0 is simply the value of g(x) when x is 0.
Conclude the limit: Conclude that the limit of g(x) as x approaches 0 is −5.
