27. You can multiply top and bottom of the fraction by √ x−1 , and then cancel a common
factor of x – 1 from both top and bottom of the fraction. Then the problem is:
( x−1)( x−2 ) √ x−1
lim =lim ( x−2 ) √ x−1=0
x →1 x−1 x →1
30. 2 is a domain endpoint, so you have to look at the left-side limit (use the first function
rule) and the right-side limit (use the third function rule) to see if they are the same. They
are, so the limit exists and equals 1. (Note: you don’t have to worry about the middle rule
unless you are checking for continuity)
