The first limit is known as a left-hand limit. We're approaching x = 3 from the left. This means we start with values smaller than x = 3, say x = 2.5 and move closer to x = 3.
Because x is starting off smaller than 3, we use the first piece of the piecewise function. This is the piece that corresponds to x < 3. So we plug x = 3 into that piece to get
2x^2 - x = 2(3)^2 - 3 = 2(9) - 3 = 18 - 3 = 15
So the result for the left-hand limit is 15.
----------------------------------------------------------
The right hand limit will have us start on the other side of x = 3. We start at x = 3.5 and move closer to x = 3. So we'll use the
portion.
Plug x = 3 into the second piece to get
3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The result of the left-hand limit was 15
The result of the right-hand limit was 0
The fact that the results do not match up means that the overall limit at x = 3 does NOT exist.

Answer: 4(2x²+9) or
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation by factoring, we want to set the equation to zero. In order to have the equation equal to zero, we want to add both sides by 36.
8x²=-36 [add both sides by 36]
8x²+36=0
When it comes to factoring, we want to pull out numbers or variables that are common in each term.
8x²+36=0 [take out a 4 in each term]
4(2x²+9)=0
It may seem that 2x²+9 can be factored further, it actually can't. This tells us that the factored form of the equation is 4(2x²+9)=0.
To solve the equation, we want to find the value of x. We already know the graph does not cross the x-axis because the y-intercept or vertex is (0,9).
4(2x²+9)=0 [divide both sides by 4]
2x²+9=0 [subtract both sides by 9]
2x²=-9 [divide both sides by 2]
x²=-9/2 [square root both sides]
