Choose the correct answer below.
A.
x²-2x-35
The limits lim
X-7
X-7
and lim (x+5) equal the same number when evaluated using
X-7
direct substitution.
B. Since each limit approaches 7, it follows that the limits are equal.
C.
The numerator of the expression
X-2x-35
X-7
simplifies to x + 5 for all x, so the limits are
equal.
D.
Since
x²-2x-35
