Find the limit (Picture Provided)

aev [14]

As long as $g(x)$ (or whichever function appears in the denominator) does not approach 0 as $x\to c$ ,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to c}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{\lim\limits_{x\to c}f(x)}{\lim\limits_{x\to c}g(x)}$

In this case,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to4}\frac gh(x)=\lim_{x\to4}\frac{g(x)}{h(x)}=\frac0{-2}=2$

so the answer is B.
