As x\rightarrow 1 the expression's denominator changes to 0  and the numerator evaluates to (32-5(3)+6)=0.Consequently, we have a type 0 / 0 indeterminate form.by factoring the numerator:

\begin{aligned} & \frac{\left(x^2-5 x+6\right)}{(x-3)^3} \\ & =\frac{(x-3)(x-2)}{(x-3)^3} \end{aligned}

Simplifying this expression

\begin{aligned} & \frac{(x-3)(x-2)}{(x-3)^3} \\ & =\frac{(x-2)}{(x-3)^2} \end{aligned}

evaluate the limit using algebraic manipulation


\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{\left(x^2-5 x+6\right)}{(x-3)^3}

\begin{aligned} & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{(x-2)}{(x-3)^2} \\ & =\frac{(3-2)}{(3-3)^2} \\ & =\frac{1}{0} \end{aligned}

This is a type \infty / 0 indeterminate form. L'Hopital's rule, which stipulates that we take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator and reevaluate the limit if the limit of a quotient of functions is an indeterminate form of type 0 / 0 or \infty / \infty can be used to assess the limit.

\begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{\left(x^2-5 x+6\right)}{(x-3)^3} \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{(x-2)}{(x-3)^2} \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{1}{(2(x-3))} \\ & =\frac{1}{6} \end{aligned}
