    This document contains a student's math homework involving evaluating limits of functions. There are 4 limit problems presented with the student's work shown. 1) The limit as x approaches -2 of (x^2 - 2x - 8)/(x + 8) is evaluated to be -1/2. 2) The limit as x approaches 3 of the square root of (x^2 - 4x + 3)/(5x + 1 - 4) is evaluated to be 5/16. 3) The limit as x approaches 3 of (x - [x])/(x^2 + x - 6) is evaluated, where [x] is the greatest integer less than or equal to x.

    Since x approaches 3 from the left, we have that all possible values of x are less than 3. Addi-
    tionally, when x gets really close to 3, we can assume x to be greater than 2. Therefore,

    lim [[x]] = [[3− ]] = 2.
