Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Follow the steps in "Evaluating Limits Graphically" (step $3$: right sided limit at x=a) Tracing the graph (we can only do it from the right) so x nears $-1$ (but not reaching it), we approach the point ($-1,1)$, f(x) approaches the value 1. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow-1^{+}}f(x)=1$
