Welcome to Bytelearn!

Let’s check out your problem:

We want to find 
lim_(x rarr2)h(x).
What happens when we use direct substitution?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) The limit exists, and we found it!
(B) The limit doesn't exist (probably an asymptote).
(C) The result is indeterminate.

Q. h(x)=x26x+10x1 h(x)=\frac{x^{2}-6 x+10}{x-1} \newlineWe want to find limx2h(x) \lim _{x \rightarrow 2} h(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 of x=2x = 2: Let's first try direct substitution of x=2x = 2 into the function h(x)h(x) to see if we can determine the limit.\newlineh(2)=(22)62+1021h(2) = \frac{(2^2) - 6\cdot2 + 10}{2 - 1}
  2. Performing the Calculations: Now, let's perform the calculations.\newlineh(2)=(412+10)(21)h(2) = \frac{(4 - 12 + 10)}{(2 - 1)}\newlineh(2)=(2)(1)h(2) = \frac{(2)}{(1)}\newlineh(2)=2h(2) = 2
  3. Determining the Limit: Since we were able to substitute x=2x = 2 directly into the function without encountering any form of indeterminate expression or undefined value, the limit exists and we have found it.
