Evaluate the Limit limit as x approaches 1 of ((x^2-4x^2)/(x^2+x-2))^3
limx1(x2-4x2x2+x-2)3
Step 1
Subtract 4x2 from x2.
limx1(-3x2x2+x-2)3
Step 2
Consider the left sided limit.
limx1-(-3x2x2+x-2)3
Step 3
As the x values approach 1 from the left, the function values increase without bound.
Step 4
Consider the right sided limit.
limx1+(-3x2x2+x-2)3
Step 5
As the x values approach 1 from the right, the function values decrease without bound.
-
Step 6
Since the left sided and right sided limits are not equal, the limit does not exist.
