Evaluate lim(x→5) (x^2 - 25)/x - 5

Question

Evaluate \(\lim\limits_{\text x \to5}\left(\cfrac{\text x^2-25}{\text x-5}\right) \)

lim(x→5) (x² - 25)/x - 5

Answer 1

To evaluate: \(\lim\limits_{\text x \to5}\left(\cfrac{\text x^2-25}{\text x-5}\right) \)

lim(x→5) (x² - 25)/x - 5

Formula used:

We have,

Thus, the value of \(\lim\limits_{\text x \to5}\left(\cfrac{\text x^2-25}{\text x-5}\right) \) is -10.
