$\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow1}\quad \frac{x^{4}-x^{2}+x+3}{x^{3+1}}$ is this your Q:

2. bigcat

yea, thanks! I don't why I can't get that on the initial post

3. Mertsj

Simply substitute 1 for x and evaluate

4. bigcat

I get 2, does that seem correct?

Shoot, the original post left off that the Denominator was x^3 + 1, but that should answer my question though. Thanks!

$\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow1}\quad \frac{x^{4}-x^{2}+x+3}{x^{3}+1}$$\qquad=\frac{1^{4}-1^{2}+1+3}{1^{3}+1}$$\qquad=\frac42$$\qquad=2\color{red}\checkmark$

Thank you very much. Perfect. I wish I could figure out how to use the Math Jax to post like that...
