Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    Evaluate lim (x → 3) (x² − 5x + 6) ÷ (x − 3).

    Answer

    1

    factorise: (x − 3)(x − 2); cancel and put x = 3

  2. 5.

    Evaluate lim (x → 3) (x³ − 27) ÷ (x − 3).

    Answer

    27

    lim (xⁿ − aⁿ)/(x − a) = naⁿ⁻¹ = 3 × 3²

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    Evaluate: (a) lim (x → 4) (x⁶ − 4,096) ÷ (x − 4); (b) lim (x → 0) (sin 3x) ÷ (sin 4x); (c) lim (x → −1) (x² − 1) ÷ (x + 1).

    Answer

    (a) 6,144; (b) 3/4; (c) −2

    (c): x² − r² = (x − r)(x + r)
