Multiple Choice

Graphically approximate the limit (if it exists) by using a graphing utility to graph the function. $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 3 ^ { + } } \frac { 3 - x } { 9 - x ^ { 2 } }$

• A) \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow 3 ^ { + } } \frac { 3 - x } { 9 - x ^ { 2 } } = \frac { 1 } { 7 }\)
• B) \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow 3 ^ { + } } \frac { 3 - x } { 9 - x ^ { 2 } } = - \frac { 1 } { 7 }\)
• C) \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow 3 ^ { + } } \frac { 3 - x } { 9 - x ^ { 2 } } = - \frac { 1 } { 8 }\)
• D) \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow 3 ^ { + } } \frac { 3 - x } { 9 - x ^ { 2 } } = \frac { 1 } { 6 }\)
• E) \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow 3 ^ { + } } \frac { 3 - x } { 9 - x ^ { 2 } } = - \frac { 1 } { 6 }\)
