To determine To complete: The given table and find the value of lim x → 3 f ( x ) . Explanation Given: The function is f ( x ) = x − 3 x − 3 . Calculation: Construct the table with x values getting closer and closer to 3 and compute the corresponding values of f ( x ) . Substitute x = 2.9 in f ( x ) = x − 3 x − 3 , f ( 2.9 ) = 2.9 − 3 ( 2.9 ) − 3 = 3 − 1.70294 0.1 = 1.29706 0.1 = 12.9706 Substitute x = 2.99 in f ( x ) = x − 3 x − 3 , f ( 2.99 ) = 2.99 − 3 ( 2.99 ) − 3 = 3 − 1.72916 0.01 = 1.27084 0.01 = 127.0838 Substitute x = 2.999 in f ( x ) = x − 3 x − 3 , f ( 2.999 ) = 2.999 − 3 ( 2.999 ) − 3 = 3 − 1.73176 0.001 = 1.26824 0.001 = 1268.237 Substitute x = 3.001 in f ( x ) = x − 3 x − 3 , f ( 3.001 ) = 3.001 − 3 ( 3.001 ) − 3 = 1.73234 − 3 0.001 = − 1.26766 0.001 = − 1267
