Thread: Limit question.

I'm going back over my calculus book now that the year is over, doing all the questions to make sure that I know the subject. I worked this limit problem and got it wrong but I don't know how to solve it correctly (without L'Hospital's).


I said DNE, but the answer is 1/6. Anyone know how to solve? thx.

Try thinking of the denominator as the "difference of squares" and factoring it.

Dear integral,

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by .

I got it. Thanks
