Question 1195061: If k(x)= x^3+1/x+1, complete the table and use the results to find lim k(x).
x->-1
a.
x | -1.1 | -1.01 | -1.001 | -0.999 | -0.99 | -0.9
k(x)
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
b.
lim k(x)=
x->-1
any help is VERY appreciated thank you so much!

.

To complete the table in part  (a),  use your calculator.


It is very strange to see,  how you go to the forum to ask the tutors to do      job,
                    which  YOU  MUST  do on your own.

Making calculations is the students' honorable duty and a privilege (!)

You wrote this:

k(x)= x^3+1/x+1

That means 

But I'll bet you didn't mean that at all, right?

I'll bet you meant this instead: 

At least learn this:

If you are going to type a fraction all on one line, then
you MUST use parentheses around the entire numerator and/or 
the entire denominator if either one contains more than 
just one letter or just one number.

What you should have typed was this:

k(x) = (x^3+1)/(x+1)
