Question

Evaluate the following one sided limits: $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow-2^+}\frac{\text{x}^2-1}{2\text{x}+4}$

✓

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow-2^+}\frac{\text{x}^2-1}{2\text{x}+4}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2^+}\frac{(\text{x}-1)(\text{x}+1)}{2(\text{x}+2)}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{(-2+\text{h}-1)(-2+\text{h}+1)}{2(-2+\text{h}+2)}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{(-3+\text{h})(\text{h}-1)}{2\text{h}}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{-3\times-1}{2\times0}=\frac{1}{0}=\infty$
