First, recognize that the expression is undefined at because it results in division by zero. Therefore, we need to simplify the expression to evaluate the limit.
Notice that the numerator can be factored as a difference of squares: .
Substitute the factored form into the original expression: .
Cancel the common factor in the numerator and the denominator, which simplifies the expression to , provided .
Now, evaluate the limit of the simplified expression as : . This can be directly computed by substituting into the expression, leading to the conjecture about the limit.
