Evaluate the limit LaTeX:  \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{4 x^{2} - 4 x - 80}{- 8 x^{2} + 45 x - 25}

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{4 x^{2} - 4 x - 80}{- 8 x^{2} + 45 x - 25} = \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{8 x - 4}{45 - 16 x} = \frac{8 (5) - 4}{45 - 16 (5)} = - \frac{36}{35}
