I think you meant to say
(as opposed to <em>x</em> approaching 2)
Since both the numerator and denominator are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, the limit of the ratio is equal to a ratio of limits. In other words, the limit operator distributes over the quotient:
Because these expressions are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, we can compute the limits by evaluating the limands directly at 2:
Let us say distance between Eugenia's home and school is x miles.
Speed of Eugenia when she walked from home to school = 3 mph
Speed of Eugenia when she walked from school to home = 7 mph
Total time taken = 45 minutes or 0.75 hours
We know that the speed distance formula is given by:
Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from home to school = x/3 hours
Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from school to home = x/7 hours
Total time taken = x/3+x/7
So forming an equation we have,
Taking lcd of 7 and 3 as 21,
10x=15.75
Dividing both sides by 10 , we have
x= 1.575
Answer: So we can say that the distance between Eugenia's house and school is 1.575 miles.
