Homework Statement



[itex]\lim_{x\rightarrow3} \stackrel{(t+1)^2}{(t^2+1)}[/itex]

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



if the bottom was t^2 - 1 i could factorise and cancel but when its t^2+1 I am not sure how to go...

Here's you limit.

Note: for fractions, use \frac{}{}, not \stackrel{}{}

[tex]\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(t+1)^2}{(t^2+1)}[/tex]

You can evaluate this limit directly.
 
oh gosh, i didnt even check that.
that should have been i first move.
thanks mark
