Answer

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 1}f(x)=-2$

Work Step by Step

As we approach the value x=1 from the left, f(x) approaches the value -2 (the left limit exists and equals -2) As we approach the value x=1 from the right, f(x) approaches the value -2 (the right limit exists and equals -2) Since both exist and are equal, $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 1}f(x)$ exists, $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 1}f(x)=-2$
