Answer to Problem 45AYU

Solution:

$1.6$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

$\underset{x \to 2}{\text{lim}}\frac{x^2 - 2x^2 + 4x - 8}{x^2 + x - 6}$

$x$	$\underset{x \to 1}{\text{lim}}\frac{x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 8}{x^2 + x - 6}$
$1.999$	$1.6$
$1.99$	$1.6$
$2.01$	$1.6$
$2.001$	$1.6$

$\underset{x \to 2}{\text{lim}}\frac{x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 8}{x^2 + x - 6} = 1.6$
