In general for computing limit x → 2 lim ( x − 2 2 + x + 2 1 − x 2 − 4 8 ) = x → 2 lim ( ( 2 ) − 2 2 + ( 2 ) + 2 1 − ( 2 ) 2 − 4 8 ) = 0 . 7 5 □
FIN!!!
It is easy to see that ( x + 2 ) ( x − 2 ) 8 can be written as x − 2 2 − x + 2 2 . Therefore, the terms with x-2 at the denominator cancel and we are left with lim x → 2 x + 2 3 , which is obviously 4 3
Since x approaches 2 , substitute a value for x that is very near to 2 , let x = 1 . 9 9 9 9 . Substitute then use a calculator, so we have
1 . 9 9 9 9 − 2 2 + 1 . 9 9 9 9 + 2 1 − 1 . 9 9 9 9 2 − 4 8 ≈ 0 . 7 5

Combine the three fractions together into one fraction:
x → 2 lim ( x 2 − 4 3 x − 6 ) = x → 2 lim ( ( x + 2 ) ( x − 2 ) 3 ( x − 2 ) ) = 4 3 = 0 . 7 5
