Hello, I am struggling with limits in my calculus course and would appreciate a bit of help. The question is:
[tex]\lim_{x→-6}\frac{x^2-8x+12}{x^2-x+30}[/tex]
So far I have tried the factoring and substitution methods but have not managed to match the answers given by online equation solvers. For example, when using direct substitution I get an answer of 4/3, whereas mathway (online solver) says the answer is x2-8x+12. Would someone please explain how that answer is possible? I've looked around online but nothing I've found seems to help in my understanding.
