Answer

$$\frac{4}{3}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\lim _{t \rightarrow 1} \frac{t^{3}+t^{2}-5 t+3}{t^{3}-3 t+2}$$ Since $\lim _{t \rightarrow 1} \frac{t^{3}+t^{2}-5 t+3}{t^{3}-3 t+2}=\frac{0}{0}$, then \begin{align*} \lim _{t \rightarrow 1} \frac{t^{3}+t^{2}-5 t+3}{t^{3}-3 t+2}&=\lim _{t \rightarrow 1} \frac{(t-1)(t^2+2t-3)}{(t-1)(t^2+t-2)}\\ &=\lim _{t \rightarrow 1} \frac{ (t-1)(t+3)}{(t-1)(t+2)}\\ &=\lim _{t \rightarrow 1} \frac{ (t+3)}{ (t+2)}\\ &=\frac{4}{3} \end{align*}
