L2. Limit of the identity function: 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒙 = 𝒂 where a = any real number
𝒙→𝒂
L7. Limit of Radical: 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒏√𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒏√𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) where n = any positive integer
𝒙→𝒂 𝒙→𝒂

𝑥 2 −16
3. lim
𝑥→4 𝑥−4
Solution:
𝑥 2 − 16
lim
𝑥→4 𝑥 − 4
(𝑥 − 4)(𝑥 + 4)
= lim
𝑥→4 𝑥−4
= lim (𝑥 + 4)
𝑥→4

4. lim
𝑥→9 𝑥−9
Solution:
√𝑥 − 3
lim
𝑥→9 𝑥 − 9
√𝑥 − 3 √𝑥 + 3
= lim •
𝑥→9 𝑥 − 9 √𝑥 + 3
