Analyze Behavior as x Approaches −1: Analyze the behavior of h(x) as x approaches −1 from the right (x→−1+).We need to consider the sign of the numerator and the denominator separately as x approaches −1 from the right. The numerator, −2x, will be negative since x is close to −1. The denominator, −11, will be a small positive number squared, which is also positive. A negative divided by a positive is negative, so the limit will approach negative infinity.
Calculate Right-Hand Limit: Calculate the right-hand limit of h(x) as x approaches −1. limx→−1+h(x)=limx→−1+−(x+1)22x As x approaches −1 from the right, the denominator approaches 0 and the expression becomes a negative number divided by a positive number that is approaching 0, which tends to negative infinity. limx→−1+h(x)=−∞
Analyze Behavior as x Approaches −1: Analyze the behavior of h(x) as x approaches −1 from the left (x→−1−).We need to consider the sign of the numerator and the denominator separately as x approaches −1 from the left. The numerator, −2x, will be negative since x is close to −1. The denominator, −11, will again be a small positive number squared, which is also positive. A negative divided by a positive is negative, so the limit will approach negative infinity.
Calculate Left-Hand Limit: Calculate the left-hand limit of h(x) as x approaches −1. limx→−1−h(x)=limx→−1−−(x+1)22x As x approaches −1 from the left, the denominator approaches 0 and the expression becomes a negative number divided by a positive number that is approaching 0, which tends to negative infinity. limx→−1−h(x)=−∞
