Evaluate the limit LaTeX:  \displaystyle \lim_{x \to -9}\frac{5 x^{2} + 35 x - 90}{6 x^{2} + 55 x + 9}

The limit is an indeterminate form of the type LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{0}{0} . Using L'Hospitial's rule and then the evaluation theorem gives: LaTeX:   \lim_{x \to -9}\frac{5 x^{2} + 35 x - 90}{6 x^{2} + 55 x + 9} = \lim_{x \to -9}\frac{10 x + 35}{12 x + 55} = \frac{10 (-9) + 35}{12 (-9) + 55} = \frac{55}{53}
