$lim_{x \to - 3} {(5 - x)}^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Step 1

Move the exponent $\frac{4}{3}$ from ${(5 - x)}^{\frac{4}{3}}$ outside the limit using the Limits Power Rule.

${(lim_{x \to - 3} 5 - x)}^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Step 2

Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $- 3$ .

${(lim_{x \to - 3} 5 - lim_{x \to - 3} x)}^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Step 3

Evaluate the limit of $5$ which is constant as $x$ approaches $- 3$ .
