Full solution

Q. limx3x+3x22x3 \lim _{\vec{x} 3} \frac{-x+3}{x^{2}-2 x-3}
  1. Factor Denominator: First, let's factor the denominator x22x3x^2 - 2x - 3. This factors into (x3)(x+1)(x - 3)(x + 1).
  2. Rewrite Limit Expression: Now, we rewrite the limit expression with the factored denominator. limx3x+3(x3)(x+1)\lim_{x\to 3}\frac{-x+3}{(x-3)(x+1)}
  3. Simplify Numerator: We notice that the numerator x+3-x + 3 can be simplified to (x3)-(x - 3).\newlineThis allows us to cancel out the (x3)(x - 3) term in the numerator and denominator.
  4. Simplify Limit Expression: After canceling, the limit expression simplifies to: limx31x+1\lim_{x\to 3}\frac{-1}{x+1}
  5. Substitute x=3x = 3: Now we can directly substitute x=3x = 3 into the simplified expression.13+1=14\frac{-1}{3+1} = -\frac{1}{4}
