\

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.

\

\
\

19.00120002

\
\

19.012002

\
\

19.1202

\
\

Now from above table we infer that as x gets closer to 3 the value of f(x) closer to 19..

\

The value of \"\".
