lim f(x) xcubed - 8/ xsquared -5x+8

x --2

try to use normal symbols, ok?

lim(x->2) (x^3-8)/(x^2-5x+8) = 0
since the denominator is not zero.

However, if you meant

lim(x->2) (x^3-8)/(x^2-6x+8)
that is different.

(x^3-8)/(x^2-6x+8)
= (x-2)(x^2+2x+4) / (x-2)(x-4)
= (x^2+2x+4)/(x-4) if x≠2
-> 12/-2 = -6
