Answer:
in steps
Step-by-step explanation:
Are you trying to prove any 3 positive consecutive odd integers whose product of the first and the third is four less than the square of the second?
3 positive consecutive odd integers: x-2, x, x+2
(x-2) (x+2)=x² - 4 ..... correct
11, 13, 15 11 x 15 = 165 = 13² - 4

Both the numerator and denominator approach 0, so this is a candidate for applying L'Hopital's rule. Doing so gives

This again gives an indeterminate form 0/0, but no need to use L'Hopital's rule again just yet. Split up the limit as

Now recall two well-known limits:

Compute each remaining limit:





So, the original limit has a value of
2/3 + 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 - 0 = 2
I believe the answer if there are 216 ways to do this, but I’m not entirely sure the question.
3/4 = 6/8 after you multiply top and bottom by 2
Subtract 3/4 from 7/8 and we get
7/8 - 3/4 = 7/8 - 6/8 = (7-6)/8 = 1/8
