!!! note
If $lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ exists, $x - a$ *must* be a factor of both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$. Therefore, $f(a) = 0$ and $g(a) = 0$.
If $\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ exists and direct substitution is not possible, $x - a$ *must* be a factor of both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ so that the discontinuity can be removed. Therefore, $f(a) = 0$ and $g(a) = 0$.
