(Algebraically and arithmetically simplify the expression in the numerator. Please note that there are TWO TYPOS in the numerator of the following quotient. The term "-3x^2+5x" should be "-5x^2+3x". However, steps thereafter are correct.)
(The remaining steps are correct.)
(Factor from the expression in the numerator.)
(The term now divides out and the limit can be calculated.)

(Eliminate the square root terms in the numerator of the expression by multiplying
by the conjugate of the numerator divided by itself.)

(Algebraically and arithmetically simplify the expression in the numerator. It is important to note that the denominator
of this expression should be left in factored form so that the term can be easily eliminated later.)

(At this point it may appear that multiplying by the conjugate of the numerator over
itself is a good next step. However, doing something else is a better idea.)
(Note that A - B can be written as the difference of cubes , so that
.
This will help explain the next step.)
