SUMMARY
The limit problem presented involves evaluating the expression liim (tan x - tan 3) / (x - 3) as x approaches 3. The solution requires applying L'Hôpital's Rule due to the indeterminate form 0/0. By differentiating the numerator and denominator, the limit can be computed as sec²(3), which is the derivative of tan x evaluated at x = 3.
