Limits

Limit Rule [Constant]:
\displaystyle \lim_(x \to c) b = b

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
\displaystyle \lim_(x \to c) x = c

Limit Property [Addition/Subtraction]:
\displaystyle \lim_(x \to c) [f(x) \pm g(x)] = \lim_(x \to c) f(x) \pm \lim_(x \to c) g(x)

Limit Property [Multiplied Constant]:
\displaystyle \lim_(x \to c) bf(x) = b \lim_(x \to c) f(x)

Explanation:

We are given the following limit:


\displaystyle \lim_(x \to 2) (3x^3 + x^2 - 8)

Rewriting this limit using limit properties, we obtain:


\displaystyle \lim_(x \to 2) (3x^3 + x^2 - 8) = 3\lim_(x \to 2) x^3 + \lim_(x \to 2) x^2 - \lim_(x \to 2) 8

Evaluate the limits using various limit rules:


\displaystyle \lim_(x \to 2) (3x^3 + x^2 - 8) = 3(2)^3 + (2)^2 - 8

Simplify:


\displaystyle \lim_(x \to 2) (3x^3 + x^2 - 8) = 20

And we have our answer.
