limit as x approaches-3 of (x+3)/(x^2-9)

x \to - 3 lim (\frac{x + 3}{x ^{2} - 9})

- \frac{1}{6}

Decimal

- 0.16666 \dots

Solution steps

x \to - 3 lim (\frac{x + 3}{x ^{2} - 9})

Simplify

\frac{x + 3}{x ^{2} - 9} : \frac{1}{x - 3}

= x \to - 3 lim (\frac{1}{x - 3})

Plug in the value

x = - 3

= \frac{1}{- 3 - 3}

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{6}
