limit as x approaches-5 of (x^2-8)/(5-x)

x \to - 5 lim (\frac{x ^{2} - 8}{5 - x})

\frac{17}{10}

Decimal Notation

1.7

Solution steps

x \to - 5 lim (\frac{x ^{2} - 8}{5 - x})

Plug in the value

x = - 5

= \frac{( - 5 ) ^{2} - 8}{5 - ( - 5 )}

Simplify

\frac{( - 5 ) ^{2} - 8}{5 - ( - 5 )} : \frac{17}{10}

= \frac{17}{10}

\frac{d}{d x} (24 x^{\frac{3}{2}})

\frac{d y}{d x} = 5 x (x - 3)

y^{^{'}} - y = 7 t e^{2 t}, y (0) = 1

e^{x} - 1

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1 - x}{1 + x})
