Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph provided depicts a function with a vertical asymptote at (indicated by the red line). The curve suggests the following behaviors as approaches different values:
-
As approaches negative infinity ():
- The function appears to decrease without bound, suggesting tends towards negative infinity as .
- Thus, .
-
As approaches positive infinity ():
- The function continues to rise without bound, indicating that approaches positive infinity.
- Thus, .
-
As approaches -2 from the right ():
- The function rises sharply, indicating that approaches positive infinity.
- This is consistent with the provided answer, .
-
As approaches -2 from the left ():
- The function falls rapidly, indicating that approaches negative infinity.
- Therefore, .
Filling in the Blanks:
- (This is already correct.)
- : Since is not close to the asymptote , we would need more context or information about or the specific behavior of near . This limit might involve further information about the function to make an accurate determination.

Relative Questions:
- How do vertical asymptotes affect the limits of functions?
- What happens to the limit of a function when approaching infinity?
- How can you determine the end behavior of a function from its graph?
- How do you find the limit of a composite function like ?
- What methods can be used to find limits involving infinity?
Tip: Always check the behavior of a function near its asymptotes to correctly determine the limits as the function approaches these critical points.
