Question

For the following function, factor the numerator and denominator into linear terms and find the limit as x goes to -1 and 2.

g(x)=(x4+6x3+3x2-26x-24)/(x4-8x3+17x2+2x-24)

Expert Solution
Step 1

To find the limit of the given function at the prescribed values

Step 2

The method consists in factoring the numerator and the denominators , clear the common factors and then substitute the values -1 and 2 in the resulting expression

Step 3
f(x)
Write g(x)=
Note that f(-1)= f(2) 0;h-1) h(2) 0
So. (x+1)(r-2)x-x-2 divides f(x) and x)
