Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can see that .
Thus, for the question, we can just plug -1 in:
Saying undefined (or unbounded) will be correct.
However, note that as x approaches 2, the values of y decrease in order to get to -1. In other words, will always be greater or equal to -1 (you can also see this from the graph). This means that as x approaches 2, f(x) will approach -.99 then -.999 then -.9999 until it reaches -1 and then go back up. What is important is that because of this, we can determine that:
This is because for the denominator, the +1 will always be greater than the f(x). This makes this increase towards positive infinity. Note that limits want the values of the function as it approaches it, not at it.
