The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
We can simplify the expression:
\[
\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^2 + 2x - 3}{x - 1}
\]
Factor the numerator:
\[
\frac{x^2 + 2x - 3}{x - 1} = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 3)}{x - 1}
\]
Cancel out \( (x - 1) \) from the numerator and denominator:
\[
\lim_{x \to 1} (x + 3) = 1 + 3 = 4
\]
