Answer

$=\dfrac {5}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Recall: (1) $\lim _{x\rightarrow c}\dfrac {f\left( x\right) }{g\left( x\right) }=\dfrac {\lim _{x\rightarrow c}f\left( x\right) }{\lim _{x\rightarrow c}g\left( x\right) }$ (2) $\lim _{x\rightarrow c}f(x) = f(c)$ Use the rules above to have: $\Rightarrow \lim _{x\rightarrow 2}\dfrac {3x+4}{x^{2}+x} \\=\dfrac {\lim _{x\rightarrow 2}\left( 3x+4\right) }{\lim _{x\rightarrow 2}\left( x^{2}+x\right) } \\=\dfrac {3\times 2+4}{2^{2}+2} \\=\dfrac {10}{6} \\=\dfrac {5}{3}$
