a) \(lim\dfrac{-2n+1}{n}=lim\dfrac{\dfrac{-2n}{n}+\dfrac{1}{n}}{\dfrac{n}{n}}=lim\dfrac{-2+\dfrac{1}{n}}{1}=\dfrac{lim\left(-2\right)+\dfrac{lim1}{n}}{lim1}=\dfrac{-2+0}{1}=-\dfrac{2}{1}=-2\)
b) \(\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow1}\dfrac{3-\sqrt{x+8}}{x-1}=\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow1}\dfrac{9-\left(x+8\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(3+\sqrt{x+8}\right)}=\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow1}\dfrac{x-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(3+\sqrt{x+8}\right)}=\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow1}\dfrac{1}{3+\sqrt{x+8}}=\dfrac{1}{3+\sqrt{1+8}}=\dfrac{1}{3+3}=\dfrac{1}{9}\)
