a. Suppose . Then can be cancelled from top and bottom, and the numerator is a polynomial in which the leading term is , while the denominator is a polynomial with a leading term of . Therefore as n goes to infinity, f(n) goes to 5/2.
b. As n approaches -1, f(n) approaches -2/7. (In fact f(x) is continuous at x = -1).
c. Returning to the argument used in (a), in any neighborhood of x = 0, f(x) is defined except at x = 0 itself. This means the limit, as n approaches 0, would be -4/5. (There is a removable discontinuity at x = 0.)
