Evaluate the limit using techniques from Chapters 1 and 3 and using L'Hôpital's Rule. lim x→8 x + 41 − 7 x − 8 Exercise (a) (a) Using techniques from Chapters 1 and 3 Step 1 The limit to be evaluated is lim x→8 x + 41 − 7 x − 8 . By directly substituting we have the following. lim x→8 x + 41 − 7 x − 8 = 0 Thus, the direct substitution results in ---Select--- form.
