Answer:

b.
-1

Explanation:

The given limit is


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

This is the limit of a polynomial function so we plug in the value of x directly to obtain;


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

Evaluate


\lim_(x \to 2) x^3-3x^2+3=8-12+3

This simplifies to


\lim_(x \to 2) x^3-3x^2+3=-1

The correct choice is B.
