Step 1: Understand the limit process: Understand the limit process.We need to find the limit of the function x3−5x2+1 as x approaches 2. This means we will substitute x with 2 in the function, assuming there are no discontinuities or indeterminate forms.
Step 2: Substitute x with 2: Substitute x with 2 in the function.Calculate the value of the function when x=2.limx→2(x3−5x2+1)=(23−5⋅22+1)
Step 3: Calculate the value of the function: Perform the calculations.(23−5⋅22+1)=(8−5⋅4+1)(8−20+1)=−12+1−11
Step 4: Perform the calculations: Conclude the limit.The limit of the function as x approaches 2 is −11.
