Factor Denominator: First, let's factor the denominator x2−2x−3. This factors into (x−3)(x+1).
Rewrite Limit Expression: Now, we rewrite the limit expression with the factored denominator. limx→3(x−3)(x+1)−x+3
Simplify Numerator: We notice that the numerator −x+3 can be simplified to −(x−3).This allows us to cancel out the (x−3) term in the numerator and denominator.
Simplify Limit Expression: After canceling, the limit expression simplifies to: limx→3x+1−1
Substitute x=3: Now we can directly substitute x=3 into the simplified expression.3+1−1=−41
