Question

For the function Rx) = 1/x+1 which of these could be a value of F(x) when x is

close to -1
O A. -0.01
OB. 0.01
O c. 1
O D. -10,000

Answer 1

D. -10000

Explanation:

you really need to copy or type the question better.

I can only assume what you really mean.

I guess, you want to say that F(x) = 1/(x+1)

when the value for x gets close to -1, the whole expression gets close to 1/0, which would bring numbers with larger and larger absolute values, leading to infinity.

you also did not say from what direction we are getting closer to -1.

we could come from -2 and move closer and closer to -1.

in this case (x+1) would always be smaller than 0 (negative sign).

or we could come from +1 and then 0 and move towards -1, in which case (x+1) would airways be bigger than 0 (positive sign).

anyway, when being closer and closer to -1, the absolute value of the resulting functional values will get bigger and bigger.

the only answer option with a larger absolute value is D (-10000).

so, that had to be the solution, and it also means that we are coming from -2 to -1, and the sign is negative.
