Approach Analysis: To find the one-sided limits of h(x) as x approaches −1, we need to consider the behavior of the function as x approaches −1 from the left (x→−1−) and from the right (x→−1+).
Limit Calculation: First, let's consider the limit as x→−1+. We need to evaluate the sine function at the point x=−1. Since sin(0)=0, and the argument of the sine function is (x+1), we have sin(−1+1)=sin(0)=0.
Limit from Right: As sin(0)=0, the denominator of h(x) becomes 10sin2(x+1)=10sin2(0)=0. Since the denominator approaches 0, the value of h(x) will approach infinity or negative infinity depending on the sign of the numerator.
Limit from Left: The numerator is simply x, which approaches −1 from the right. As x approaches −1 from the right, the numerator is slightly greater than −1 and thus positive. Therefore, as the denominator approaches 0, the value of h(x) will approach positive infinity.
Conclusion: Now, let's consider the limit as x approaches −1 from the left (x→−1−). The behavior of the sine function is the same since sin(−1+1)=sin(0)=0. Therefore, the denominator will again approach 0.
Conclusion: Now, let's consider the limit as x approaches −1 from the left (x→−1−). The behavior of the sine function is the same since sin(−1+1)=sin(0)=0. Therefore, the denominator will again approach 0.As x approaches −1 from the left, the numerator is slightly less than −1 and thus negative. However, since the denominator is squared, it will always be positive. Therefore, as the denominator approaches 0, the value of h(x) will approach negative infinity.
Conclusion: Now, let's consider the limit as x approaches −1 from the left (x→−1−). The behavior of the sine function is the same since sin(−1+1)=sin(0)=0. Therefore, the denominator will again approach 0.As x approaches −1 from the left, the numerator is slightly less than −1 and thus negative. However, since the denominator is squared, it will always be positive. Therefore, as the denominator approaches 0, the value of h(x) will approach negative infinity.Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that the one-sided limits of h(x) as x approaches −1 are as follows:−13 and −14.
