To simplify the expression (x^2-16)/(3x^2+10x-8), we can factor both the numerator and denominator. The numerator can be factored as the difference of squares: (x^2-16) = (x+4)(x-4). The denominator can be factored as well: (3x^2+10x-8) = (3x-2)(x+4).
Now, we can cancel out the common factor of (x+4) from both the numerator and denominator.
Therefore, the simplified expression is (x-4)/(3x-2).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
