limit as x approaches 1 of (x-5)/(x^2-1)

x \to 1 lim (\frac{x - 5}{x ^{2} - 1})

diverges

Solution steps

x \to 1 lim (\frac{x - 5}{x ^{2} - 1})

x \to a - lim f (x) \neq = x \to a + lim f (x)

then the limit does not exist

x \to 1 + lim (\frac{x - 5}{x ^{2} - 1}) = - \infty

x \to 1 - lim (\frac{x - 5}{x ^{2} - 1}) = \infty

= diverges
