Correct Answer: C. colonialism

Correct Answer: A. \(\frac{7}{2}\)

Explanation

\(\lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{x^{3} + x^{2} - 12x}{x^{2} - 9}) = \lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{x^{3} - 3x^{2} + 4x^{2} - 12x}{(x - 3)(x + 3)}\)

\(\lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{(x^{2} + 4x)(x - 3)}{(x - 3)(x + 3)} = \lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{x^{2} + 4x}{x + 3})\)

=\(\frac{3^{2} + 4(3)}{3 + 3} = \frac{21}{6} = \frac{7}{2}\)
