That picture is somewhat difficult to read but you're interested in limit as x approaches positive and negative infinities for . Unless read incorrectly.

That function is defined for the entire real number line, so nomatter what x is picked, the function and limit are the same. The denominator, x^2+1, is never zero.

The evaluation directly for limits at infinity may be difficult to see. Try dividing numerator AND denominator by x^2:


Toward negative infinity, the numerator approaches 0-1 and denominator approaches 1+0. The function then approaches -1/1, (negative 1).
... and you may then decide what happens as x approaches positive infinity?
