Answer 1

according to the wolf, no

What's that address?

Answer 7

This is a component of a Limit problem I have found to be DNE.

Answer 8

cool

Answer 9

Let me see what I started with...

Answer 10

ah, right, x --> -1, hence my passion to remove x+1 from the denominator.

Answer 11

This is a solve for limit that I have reached exhaustion upon. I think it is DNE.
Lim (x--> -1) of (3x^3 + 1) / (x+1
I can find no result other than indeterminate, using a table shows the val's skate off to infinity in opposite directions as x approaches -1, which both my sketch and your wolf confirms on the chart. Am I missing something?

Answer 13

i think your are right

Answer 14

The limit on the right does no equal the limit on the left

Answer 15

Right. Left != Right ----------> Lim DNE

Answer 16

Thanks for confirming my results - I am slowly building confidence in finding lim.

Answer 17

you get the above by doing polynomial division (well, wolf to save time and effort).
