Given to solve,
`lim_(x->-2) (x^2-3x+10)/(x+2)`
as `x->-2` then the `(x^2-3x+10)/(x+2) =0/0` form
so upon applying the L 'Hopital rule we get the solution as follows,
as for the general equation it is as follows
`lim_(x->a) f(x)/g(x) is = 0/0` or `(+-oo)/(+-oo)` then by using the L'Hopital Rule we get the solution with the below form.
`lim_(x->a) (f'(x))/(g'(x))`
so , now evaluating
`lim_(x->-2) (x^2-3x+10)/(x+2)`
=`lim_(x->-2) ((x^2-3x+10)')/((x+2)')`
=`lim_(x->-2) (2x-3)/(1)`
now plugging the value of `x= -2` then we get
= `(2(-2)-3)`
= `-7`
