Let's denote the length of the rectangular garage as L and the width as W. Given that the width is 8 feet less than the length, we can express this relationship as:
W = L - 8
The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given by the formula:
P = 2(L + W)
Substituting the expression for W into the perimeter formula, we get:
P = 2(L + (L - 8))
Simplifying further:
P = 2(2L - 8)
P = 4L - 16
Therefore, the perimeter of the garage can be expressed as a function of the length (L) as:
P(L) = 4L - 16

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.
