Substitute x into function: Substitute the value of x into the function to see if the function is defined at that point.Let's substitute x=3 into f(x)=11−2xx2−4.f(3)=11−2⋅3(3)2−4f(3)=11−69−4f(3)=55f(3)=1
Calculate f(3): Since the function is defined at x=3 and there is no indeterminate form, the limit as x approaches 3 is simply the value of the function at x=3. Therefore, limx→3f(x)=f(3)=1.
