$lim_{x \to 2} \sqrt{\frac{5 x^{2} + 5}{3 x - 2}}$

Step 1

Move the limit under the radical sign.

$\sqrt{lim_{x \to 2} \frac{5 x^{2} + 5}{3 x - 2}}$

Step 2

Split the limit using the Limits Quotient Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $2$ .

$\sqrt{\frac{lim_{x \to 2} 5 x^{2} + 5}{lim_{x \to 2} 3 x - 2}}$

Step 3

Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $2$ .

$\sqrt{\frac{lim_{x \to 2} 5 x^{2} + lim_{x \to 2} 5}{lim_{x \to 2} 3 x - 2}}$

Step 4

Move the term $5$ outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to $x$ .

$\sqrt{\frac{5 lim_{x \to 2} x^{2} + lim_{x \to 2} 5}{lim_{x \to 2} 3 x - 2}}$

Step 5

Move the exponent $2$ from $x^{2}$ outside the limit using the Limits Power Rule.
