Lim x>-1 x^2-x-2/x+1

Mathematics
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we directly evaluate the function at -1, we get 0/0, meaning we may still have a limit to find.

In this case, factoring the polynomial at the top would be helpful.

The polynomial can be factored to (x+1)(x-2), so the function would now turn out to be (x+1)(x-2)/(x+1)

The (x+1) cancel out, leaving you with (x-2), which you can directly evaluate by plugging in x as -1:

-1-2 = -3

Quick disclaimer: the function is still undefined at -1; it's just that the function gets closer and closer to -3 as you approach -1.

I hope this helped you.

What is 1500000000000 in scientific notation
omeli [17]
1500000000000 in scientific notation is 
1.5 * 10^12
That is because you move the decimal point 12 places to the left for it to become 1.5.
1.5 * 10^12
move the decimal point 12 places to the right and you got the original number, 1500000000000.

Hope this helps!
