The function g(x)=x2−5x+6x−2g(x)=\dfrac{x^{2}-5x+6}{x-2} is undefined at x=2x=2. Which statement is most accurate regarding lim⁡x→2g(x)\displaystyle \lim_{x\to2} g(x)? a) The limit exists and equals 00 since the numerator becomes zero at x=2x=2. (Cancelling is unnecessary) b) The limit does not exist because the function is undefined at x=2x=2. (No value implies no limit) c) The limit exists and equals −1-1 because, after cancelling the common factor, the expression becomes x−3x-3. (Correct) d) The limit is infinite because the denominator tends to zero more rapidly than the numerator near x=2x=2. (Vertical asymptote)
