MTH 102 Limits Objective Question

Question

Evaluate the limit of \( \frac{x^2 - 4}{x^2 + x - 6} \) as \( x \) tends to 2.
Options
A \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Correct Answer
B 0
C \(\frac{2}{3}\)
D 1
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Factorising gives ( \frac{(x-2)(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+3)} ). Cancelling ( (x-2) ) leaves ( \frac{x+2}{x+3} ), which is ( \frac{4}{5} ) at ( x=2 ).

Hint
