Step-by-step solution

11 steps

Here are the solutions for the limits:

  • :
  1. Substitute x=−2x=-2 into the expression.

    $$
    \lim_{x \to -2} \left(\frac{x}{x + 1}\right) \left(\frac{3x + 5}{x^2 + x}\right) = \left(\frac{-2}{-2 + 1}\right) \left(\frac{3(-2) + 5}{(-2)^2 + (-2)}\right)
    $$
    
  2. Simplify each fraction.

    $$
    \left(\frac{-2}{-1}\right) \left(\frac{-6 + 5}{4 - 2}\right) = (2) \left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)
    $$
    
  3. Multiply the results.

    $$
    2 \times \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = -1
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\text{-1}}$.
    
    • :
  4. Substitute x=1x=1 into the expression.

    $$
    \lim_{x \to 1} \left(\frac{1}{x + 1}\right) \left(\frac{x + 6}{x}\right) \left(\frac{3 - x}{7}\right) = \left(\frac{1}{1 + 1}\right) \left(\frac{1 + 6}{1}\right) \left(\frac{3 - 1}{7}\right)
    $$
    
  5. Simplify each fraction.

    $$
    \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \left(\frac{7}{1}\right) \left(\frac{2}{7}\right)
    $$
    
  6. Multiply the results.

    $$
    \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times \frac{2}{7} = 1
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\text{1}}$.
    
    • :
  7. Factor the numerator x2−x−2x^2 - x - 2.

    $$
    x^2 - x - 2 = (x - 2)(x + 1)
    $$
    
  8. Simplify the expression by canceling the common factor (x+1)(x + 1).

    $$
    \lim_{x \to -1} \frac{(x - 2)(x + 1)}{x + 1} = \lim_{x \to -1} (x - 2)
    $$
    
  9. Substitute x=−1x=-1 into the simplified expression.

    $$
    -1 - 2 = -3
    $$
    The limit is $\boxed{\text{-3}}$.
    
    • :
  10. Factor the numerator x2−x−2x^2 - x - 2.

    $$
    x^2 - x - 2 = (x - 2)(x + 1)
    $$
