Evaluate the limit LaTeX:  \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3}\frac{3 x^{2} + 12 x - 63}{4 x^{2} - 19 x + 21}

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 3}\frac{3 x^{2} + 12 x - 63}{4 x^{2} - 19 x + 21} = \lim_{x \to 3}\frac{6 x + 12}{8 x - 19} = \frac{6 (3) + 12}{8 (3) - 19} = 6
