$lim_{x \to 8} (1 + \sqrt[3]{x}) (2 - 6 x^{2})$

Step 1

Split the limit using the Product of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $8$ .

$lim_{x \to 8} 1 + \sqrt[3]{x} \cdot lim_{x \to 8} 2 - 6 x^{2}$

Step 2

Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $8$ .

$(lim_{x \to 8} 1 + lim_{x \to 8} \sqrt[3]{x}) \cdot lim_{x \to 8} 2 - 6 x^{2}$

Step 3

Evaluate the limit of $1$ which is constant as $x$ approaches $8$ .

$(1 + lim_{x \to 8} \sqrt[3]{x}) \cdot lim_{x \to 8} 2 - 6 x^{2}$

Step 4

Move the limit under the radical sign.

$(1 + \sqrt[3]{lim_{x \to 8} x}) \cdot lim_{x \to 8} 2 - 6 x^{2}$

Step 5

Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $8$ .

$(1 + \sqrt[3]{lim_{x \to 8} x}) \cdot (lim_{x \to 8} 2 - lim_{x \to 8} 6 x^{2})$

Step 6

Evaluate the limit of $2$ which is constant as $x$ approaches $8$ .

$(1 + \sqrt[3]{lim_{x \to 8} x}) \cdot (2 - lim_{x \to 8} 6 x^{2})$

Step 7

Move the term $6$ outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to $x$ .

$(1 + \sqrt[3]{lim_{x \to 8} x}) \cdot (2 - 6 lim_{x \to 8} x^{2})$

Step 8

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

$(1 + \sqrt[3]{lim_{x \to 8} x}) \cdot (2 - 6 {(lim_{x \to 8} x)}^{2})$

Step 9

Evaluate the limits by plugging in $8$ for all occurrences of $x$ .
