limit as x approaches 4-of (x+1)/(x-4)

x \to 4 - lim (\frac{x + 1}{x - 4})

- \infty

Solution steps

x \to 4 - lim (\frac{x + 1}{x - 4})

\frac{x + 1}{x - 4} = (x + 1) \frac{1}{x - 4}

= x \to 4 - lim ((x + 1) \frac{1}{x - 4})

x \to a lim [f (x) \cdot g (x)] = x \to a lim f (x) \cdot x \to a lim g (x)

With the exception of indeterminate form

= x \to 4 - lim (x + 1) \cdot x \to 4 - lim (\frac{1}{x - 4})

x \to 4 - lim (x + 1) = 5

x \to 4 - lim (\frac{1}{x - 4}) = - \infty

= 5 (- \infty)

Apply Infinity Property:

c \cdot (- \infty) = - \infty

= - \infty
