Identify Form: Identify the form of the expression when x is substituted by 4. Substituting x=4, we get 4−44−4=00, which is an indeterminate form.
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression (x−4)/(x−4). Since the numerator and denominator are the same, (x−4)/(x−4) simplifies to 1 for all x=4.
Determine Limit: Determine the limit as x approaches 4. Since the simplified expression is 1 for all x=4, the limit as x approaches 4 of (x−4)/(x−4) is 1.
