Identify function and limit: Identify the function and the limit to be found.We are given the function g(x)=x2−x−1 and we need to find the limit as x approaches −3.
Substitute value into function: Substitute the value of −3 into the function g(x). Since the function g(x) is a polynomial, which is continuous everywhere, we can find the limit by direct substitution. g(−3)=(−3)2−(−3)−1
Calculate value of g(−3): Calculate the value of g(−3). g(−3)=9+3−1 g(−3)=12−1 g(−3)=11
