\

The given limit is \"\".

\

Compare the limit with \"\", So \"\".

\

Now choose values of x close to 3, arbitrarily starting with 2.99.

\

Then choose values of x > 3, starting with 3.01, that get closer to 3.

\

Finally evaluate f at each choice to obtain table below.

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

\

Now from above table we infer that as x gets closer to 3 the value of f(x) closer to 2..

\

Then the value of \"\".

\"\"

\

To check the solution of \"\".

\

Apply formula: \"\".

\

Substitute x = 3.
