Line 29:

Direct substitution of the number that ''x'' approaches into either of these functions leads to the indeterminate form 0/0, but both [[limit of a function|limit]]s actually exist and are 1 and 14 respectively.

The indeterminate form does not imply the limit does not exist. Algebraic elimination or applying [[L'HopitalHôpital's rule]] can be used to simplify the expression so the limit can be more easily evaluated.
