If x = a makes both top and bottom zero, what should be tried first?
ACancel the common factor of x - a
BDeclare that the limit is zero
CDeclare that the limit is one
DSubstitute x = a once more
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Cancel the common factor of x - a
Zero over zero is resolved by factoring out the vanishing term and cancelling it.
