Evaluate the limit \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 4}\frac{3 x^{2} - 30 x + 72}{x^{2} - 9 x + 20}\)


The limit is an indeterminate form of the type \(\displaystyle \frac{0}{0}\). Using L'Hospitial's rule and then the evaluation theorem gives: \begin{equation*} \lim_{x \to 4}\frac{3 x^{2} - 30 x + 72}{x^{2} - 9 x + 20} = \lim_{x \to 4}\frac{6 x - 30}{2 x - 9} = \frac{6 (4) - 30}{2 (4) - 9} = 6 \end{equation*}
