Evaluate: \(^{lim}_{x \to 1} \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1 - x}{x^2 - 3x + 2} \end {pmatrix}\)

  • A. -1
  • B. - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  • C. \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  • D. 1

Correct Answer: D. 1

Explanation

Lim(\(\frac{1 - x}{x^2 - 3x + 2}\))

= \(^{lim}_{x \to 1} \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1 - x}{x^2 - 3x + 2} \end {pmatrix}\)

= \(^{lim}_{x \to 1} \begin{pmatrix} \frac{x - 1}{(x - 2)(x + 1)} \end {pmatrix}\)

= \(\frac{-1}{1 - 2}\)

= \(\frac{-1}{-1}\)

= 1
