Answer:
The limit of the function as x approaches 1 is ∞
Vertical asymptote; x = 1
Explanation:
The graphical approach to evaluating limits involves graphing the function, the graph of the function
is contained in the attachment below.
The red vertical line is the graph of x = 1. As we approach the line x = 1 from the left, the value of the function, that is y becomes large and large indefinitely. That is the value of the function approaches infinity. The same case applies when we approach the vertical line x = 1 from the right.
Also noticeable is the fact that the function approaches the line x = 1 asymptotically. The function gets closer and closer to this line but actually never touches it. Therefore, the line x = 1 is our vertical asymptote of the function given
