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.
To multiply two fractions, you simply multiply numerators and denominators together.
2 can be read as the fraction 2/1
So, the multiplication is
