Answer

Now we can substitute x=2 directly into the function, resulting in: 4(2+2)=16.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we apply the limit to the function: limx24x216x2.

Step 2 :We try to substitute x=2 directly into the function, but this gives us 00, which is undefined. So, we must simplify the function before applying the limit.

Step 3 :Next, we factor the numerator: limx24(x2)(x+2)x2.

Step 4 :The terms (x2) cancel out, leaving us with: limx24(x+2).

Step 5 :Now we can substitute x=2 directly into the function, resulting in: 4(2+2)=16.
