Limit evaluation. (Please confirm my work)

[mateomy]

Evaluate:

<br /> \lim_{x \to 2}\,\frac{x^3-4x^2+7x-6}{x-2}<br />


To evaluate this limit did some synthetic division to ultimately get the polynomial of
<br /> x^2-2x+3<br />

and evaluating this as as x\to2 I ended up with a final answer of 3.

Can someone just confirm that this is in fact, the correct answer. I have nothing to check my work with and I am just making sure all my skills are in order before my final.

Thank you very much in advance.

Yes, this is correct. You could also use L'Hopital's rule to check, if you know about that.

Awesome thanks. No, not quite at L'Hopital yet, next semester.
