- Let ƒ(x) = (x2 - 1)/( | x| - 1). Make tables of the values of ƒ at values of x that approach c = -1 from above and below. Then estimate limx→ -1 ƒ(x).arrow_forward2. Describe a strategy for solving limits of the form limx→∞f(x)g(x), where f(x) and g(x) are polynomials.arrow_forwardFor f(x) = −x^3 + 1/2x + 8evaluate limx→∞ f(x) and limx→−∞ f(x). Then give thehorizontal asymptote of f (if any). (a) Graph f(x)=(1−x^2, x≠1)(2, x = 1)(b) Find limx→1+ f(x) and limx→1− f(x).(c) Does limx→1 f(x) exist? If so, what is it? If not, why not?arrow_forward
- Let ƒ(x) = (x^2 - 9)/(x + 3). a. Make a table of the values of ƒ at the points x = -3.1, -3.01, -3.001, and so on as far as your calculator can go. Then estimate limxS -3 ƒ(x).
