Factoring gives (x - 3)(x + 3)/(x - 3). Canceling (x - 3) gives lim (x -> 3) (x + 3) = 6.

Q: Evaluate the limit: lim (x -> 3) (x^2 - 9)/(x - 3) (2020)
Solution:
Factoring gives (x - 3)(x + 3)/(x - 3). Canceling (x - 3) gives lim (x -> 3) (x + 3) = 6.
Steps: 8
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the limit we need to evaluate: lim (x -> 3) (x^2 - 9)/(x - 3).
Step 2: Notice that the expression (x^2 - 9) can be factored. It is a difference of squares.
Step 3: Factor (x^2 - 9) into (x - 3)(x + 3).
Step 4: Rewrite the limit using the factored form: lim (x -> 3) ((x - 3)(x + 3))/(x - 3).
Step 5: Since (x - 3) is in both the numerator and the denominator, we can cancel it out, but only for x ≠ 3.
Step 6: After canceling, we have lim (x -> 3) (x + 3).
Step 7: Now, substitute x = 3 into (x + 3): 3 + 3 = 6.
Step 8: Therefore, the limit is 6.
