Limit Root Polynomial 3C36Da
1. **Problem statement:** Find the limit $$\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{\sqrt{2x - 2}}{x^2 - 3x + 2}$$.
2. **Recall the formula and rules:** To find limits involving square roots and polynomials, first try direct substitution. If it results in an indeterminate form like $$\frac{0}{0}$$, use algebraic manipulation such as factoring or rationalizing.
3. **Direct substitution:** Substitute $x=2$:
$$\sqrt{2(2) - 2} = \sqrt{4 - 2} = \sqrt{2} \neq 0,$$
Denominator:
$$2^2 - 3(2) + 2 = 4 - 6 + 2 = 0,$$
So the denominator is zero but numerator is $$\sqrt{2}$$, so the limit tends to $$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{0}$$ which is undefined (infinite or does not exist). But let's check carefully if the numerator is zero or not.
4. **Check numerator at $x=2$ carefully:**
$$2x - 2 = 2(2) - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2,$$
so numerator is $$\sqrt{2} \neq 0$$.
5. **Check denominator factorization:**
$$x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 1)(x - 2).$$
6. **Rewrite the limit:**
$$\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{\sqrt{2x - 2}}{(x - 1)(x - 2)}.$$
7. **Since denominator tends to zero and numerator tends to $$\sqrt{2}$$, the limit tends to infinity or negative infinity depending on the sign of denominator near 2.**
8. **Check left and right limits:**
- For $$x \to 2^-$$, $$x-2 < 0$$, denominator negative, numerator positive, so limit tends to $$-\infty$$.
- For $$x \to 2^+$$, $$x-2 > 0$$, denominator positive, numerator positive, so limit tends to $$+\infty$$.
9. **Conclusion:** The two-sided limit does not exist because left and right limits differ.
**Final answer:** The limit does not exist.
**Note:** None of the given options (1, 1/2, 2, 1/4) match this result.
