Question
The image shows a mathematical expression representing a limit. The expression is:

\[
\lim_{{x \to 1}} \frac{{x^2 + 2x}}{{x^2 - 2x + 1}}
\]

This represents the limit of the function \(\frac{{x^2 + 2x}}{{x^2 - 2x + 1}}\) as \(x\) approaches 1. The function is a rational expression with a quadratic polynomial in both the numerator (\(x^2 + 2x\)) and the denominator (\(x^2 - 2x + 1\)).

.

\lim _{x\to 1}\left(\frac{x^2+2x}{x^2-2x+1}\right)

=\lim _{x\to 1}\left(\frac{x\left(x+2\right)}{x^2-x-x+1}\right)

=\lim _{x\to 1}\left(\frac{x\left(x+2\right)}{x\left(x-1\right)-1\left(x-1\right)}\right)

=\lim _{x\to 1}\left(\frac{x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)}\right)

=\lim _{x\to 1}\left(\frac{x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)^2}\right)
