limit as x approaches 2-of (6x)/(x-2)

x \to 2 - lim (\frac{6 x}{x - 2})

- \infty

Solution steps

x \to 2 - lim (\frac{6 x}{x - 2})

x \to a lim [c \cdot f (x)] = c \cdot x \to a lim f (x)

= 6 \cdot x \to 2 - lim (\frac{x}{x - 2})

Divide by highest denominator power:

\frac{1}{1 - \frac{2}{x}}

= 6 \cdot x \to 2 - lim (\frac{1}{1 - \frac{2}{x}})

For

x

approaching

2

from the left

, x < 2 \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{2}{x} < 0

The denominator is a negative quantity approaching 0 from the left

= 6 (- \infty)

Apply Infinity Property:

c \cdot (- \infty) = - \infty

= - \infty
