Let me express the equation clearly:

lim x→-9  (x²-81)/(x+9)

Initially, we solve this by substituting x=-9 to the equation. 

((-9)²-81)/(-9+9) = 0/0

The term 0/0 is undefined. This means that the solution is not see on the number line because it is imaginary. Other undefined terms are N/0 (where N is any number), 0⁰, 0×∞, ∞-∞, 1^∞ and ∞/∞. One way to solve this is by applying L'Hopitals Rule. This can be done by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the fraction independently. Then, you can already substitute the x=-9.

(2x-0)/(1+0) = 2x = 2(-9) = -18

The other easy way is to substitute x=-8.999 to the original equation. Note that the term x→-9 means that x only approaches to -9. Thus, you substitute a number that is very close to -9. Substituting x=-8.999

((-8.999)²-81)/(-8.999+9) = -18

<h3>Answer:   (n-1)^2</h3>

This is because we have a list of perfect squares 0,1,4,9,...

We use n-1 in place of n because we're shifting things one spot to the left, since we start at 0 instead of 1.

In other words, if the answer was n^2, then the first term would be 1^2 = 1, the second term would be 2^2 = 4, and so on. But again, we started with 0^2 = 0, so that's why we need the n-1 shift.

You can confirm this is the case by plugging n = 1 into (n-1)^2 and you should find the result is 0^2 = 0. Similarly, if you tried n = 2, you should get 1^2 = 1, and so on. It appears you already wrote the answer when you wrote "Mark Scheme".

All of this only applies to sequence A.

side note: n is some positive whole number.
