Evaluate each limit.
lim x→e^2 ln^2x−5 ln x+6 lnx−2
Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Identify the form of the limit. As x approaches e^2, substitute x = e^2 into the expression ln^2(x) - 5ln(x) + 6 to check if it results in an indeterminate form like 0/0.
Step 2: Substitute x = e^2 into the expression. Calculate ln(e^2) which simplifies to 2, and substitute this into the expression to see if it results in an indeterminate form.
Step 3: If the expression results in an indeterminate form, consider using algebraic manipulation or L'Hôpital's Rule. Simplify the expression if possible to resolve the indeterminate form.
Step 4: If using L'Hôpital's Rule, differentiate the numerator and the denominator separately with respect to x, and then take the limit again as x approaches e^2.
Step 5: Evaluate the limit after simplification or applying L'Hôpital's Rule to find the final value.
