Here are the solutions for the limits:

  • First Limit:
  1. Substitute x=3x=3 into the expression (x+2)(x−5)(x + 2)(x - 5).

    $$
    \lim_{x \to 3} (x + 2)(x - 5) = (3 + 2)(3 - 5)
    $$
    
  2. Simplify the terms in the parentheses.

    $$
    (5)(-2)
    $$
    
  3. Multiply the values.

    $$
    5 \times -2 = -10
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\text{-10}}$.
    
    • Second Limit:
  4. Substitute x=1x=1 into the numerator and denominator of the expression x+1x+2\frac{x + 1}{x + 2}.

    $$
    \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x + 1}{x + 2} = \frac{1 + 1}{1 + 2}
    $$
    
  5. Simplify the numerator and denominator.

    $$
    \frac{2}{3}
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}$.
    
    • Third Limit:
  6. Substitute x=−1x=-1 into the numerator and denominator of the expression x−1x+2\frac{x - 1}{x + 2}.

    $$
    \lim_{x \to -1} \frac{x - 1}{x + 2} = \frac{-1 - 1}{-1 + 2}
    $$
    
  7. Simplify the numerator and denominator.

    $$
    \frac{-2}{1}
    $$
    
  8. Perform the division.

    $$
    \frac{-2}{1} = -2
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\text{-2}}$.
    
    • Fourth Limit:
  9. Substitute x=3x=3 into the numerator and denominator of the expression x−3x2\frac{x - 3}{x^2}.

    $$
    \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{x - 3}{x^2} = \frac{3 - 3}{3^2}
    $$
    
  10. Simplify the numerator and denominator.

    $$
    \frac{0}{9}
    $$
    
  11. Perform the division.

    $$
    \frac{0}{9} = 0
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\text{0}}$.
    
    • Fifth Limit:
  12. Substitute x=−1x=-1 into the numerator and denominator of the expression x2+13x2−2x+5\frac{x^2 + 1}{3x^2 - 2x + 5}.

    $$
    \lim_{x \to -1} \frac{x^2 + 1}{3x^2 - 2x + 5} = \frac{(-1)^2 + 1}{3(-1)^2 - 2(-1) + 5}
    $$
    
  13. Simplify the numerator and denominator.

    $$
    \frac{1 + 1}{3(1) + 2 + 5} = \frac{2}{3 + 2 + 5}
    $$
    
  14. Add the terms in the denominator.

    $$
    \frac{2}{10}
    $$
    
  15. Simplify the fraction.

    $$
    \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}$.
