Evaluate the limit LaTeX:  \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{2 x^{2} - 50}{- 8 x^{2} + 43 x - 15}

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 5}\frac{2 x^{2} - 50}{- 8 x^{2} + 43 x - 15} = \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{4 x}{43 - 16 x} = \frac{4 (5)}{43 - 16 (5)} = - \frac{20}{37}
