Step-by-step solution
11 stepsHere are the solutions for the limits:
- :
Substitute into the expression.
$$ \lim_{x \to -2} \left(\frac{x}{x + 1}\right) \left(\frac{3x + 5}{x^2 + x}\right) = \left(\frac{-2}{-2 + 1}\right) \left(\frac{3(-2) + 5}{(-2)^2 + (-2)}\right) $$Simplify each fraction.
$$ \left(\frac{-2}{-1}\right) \left(\frac{-6 + 5}{4 - 2}\right) = (2) \left(\frac{-1}{2}\right) $$Multiply the results.
$$ 2 \times \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = -1 $$ The limit is $\boxed{\text{-1}}$.- :
Substitute into the expression.
$$ \lim_{x \to 1} \left(\frac{1}{x + 1}\right) \left(\frac{x + 6}{x}\right) \left(\frac{3 - x}{7}\right) = \left(\frac{1}{1 + 1}\right) \left(\frac{1 + 6}{1}\right) \left(\frac{3 - 1}{7}\right) $$Simplify each fraction.
$$ \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \left(\frac{7}{1}\right) \left(\frac{2}{7}\right) $$Multiply the results.
$$ \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times \frac{2}{7} = 1 $$ The limit is $\boxed{\text{1}}$.- :
Factor the numerator .
$$ x^2 - x - 2 = (x - 2)(x + 1) $$Simplify the expression by canceling the common factor .
$$ \lim_{x \to -1} \frac{(x - 2)(x + 1)}{x + 1} = \lim_{x \to -1} (x - 2) $$Substitute into the simplified expression.
$$ -1 - 2 = -3 $$ The limit is $\boxed{\text{-3}}$.- :
Factor the numerator .
$$ x^2 - x - 2 = (x - 2)(x + 1) $$Step 11
