Evaluate the limit LaTeX:  \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 LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{0}{0} . Using L'Hospitial's rule and then the evaluation theorem gives: LaTeX:   \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
