Answer:

–1

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the following limit:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow -2} x^3 + 3x^2 - 5$

Since the function does not have any discontinuity(point in which the denominator is 0, for example), we just replace the values of x by -2. So

$\lim_{x \rightarrow -2} x^3 + 3x^2 - 5 = (-2)^3 + 3(-2)^2 - 5 = -8 + 12 - 5 = -13 + 12 = -1$

The value of the limit is -1.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of the f(x) values divided by the difference in the corresponding x values.

That would be (f(2) - f(-2)) / (2 - (-2))

Can you combine like terms without formally showing the distributive property? Explain.

blsea [12.9K]

Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
