Expert Solution

Step 1

Since we only answer up to 3 sub-parts, we’ll answer the first 3. Please resubmit the question and specify the other subparts (up to 3) you’d like answered

Step 2

Given: Expression of the limit as

$\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^{2} + 4 x - 12}{x^{2} - 4}$
$\lim_{x \to - 2^{-}} \frac{x^{2} + 4 x - 12}{x^{2} - 4}$
$\lim_{x \to - 2^{+}} \frac{x^{2} + 4 x - 12}{x^{2} - 4}$

To find: The value of limit in each expression.

Step 3

Explanation:

Solving $\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^{2} + 4 x - 12}{x^{2} - 4}$ ,

$\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^{2} + 4 x - 12}{x^{2} - 4} = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^{2} + 6 x - 2 x - 12}{x^{2} - 2^{2}} [factorising the numerator and denominator] = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x (x + 6) - 2 (x + 6)}{(x + 2) (x - 2)} = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x + 6) (x - 2)}{(x + 2) (x - 2)} [cancelling (x - 2) from nimerator and denominator] = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x + 6)}{(x + 2)} = \frac{2 + 6}{2 + 2} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$

Answer: $\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^{2} + 4 x - 12}{x^{2} - 4} = 2$ .
