`lim_(x -> 5)[(x^3 - 125)/(x^5 - 3125)]`
Advertisements
Solution
`lim_(x -> 5)[(x^3 - 125)/(x^5 - 3125)]`
= `lim_(x -> 5)(((x^3 - 5^3)/(x - 5)))/(((x^5 - 5^5)/(x - 5))) ...[(because x -> 5"," therefore x ≠ 5","),(therefore x - 5 ≠ 0)]`
= `(lim_(x -> 5) (x^3 - 5^3)/(x - 5))/(lim_(x -> 5)(x^5 - 5^5)/(x - 5)`
= `(3(5)^2)/(5(5)^4) ...[ because lim_(x -> a) (x^n - a^n)/(x - a) = n*a^(n - 1)]`
= `3/(5)^3`
= `3/125`
