Answer

$\lim\limits_{x \to 0}f(x) = -\infty$ $\lim\limits_{x \to -\infty} f(x) = 5$ $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} = -5$

Work Step by Step

$\lim\limits_{x \to 0}f(x) = -\infty$ As $x$ approaches $0$ from the left and the right, the value of the function becomes larger magnitude negative numbers. $\lim\limits_{x \to -\infty} f(x) = 5$ As $x$ approaches larger magnitude negative numbers, the value of the function gets closer and closer to 5 $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} = -5$ As $x$ approaches larger magnitude positive numbers, the value of the function gets closer and closer to -5
