Question

Select the correct answer

what is the left hand limit of g(x)=

`\frac{ {x}^(2) - 25 }{x - 5}`
as x aproaches 5​

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

`\displaystyle \lim_(x \to 5) \left((x^2 - 5)/(x - 5) \right)= \lim_(x \to 5) ((x+5)(x-5))/((x-5))`

or

`\displaystyle \lim_(x \to 5) (x + 5) = 10`
