Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Follow the steps in "Evaluating Limits Graphically" (step $6$: limits at $\pm\infty$) Tracing the graph to the far right, we see that the graph approaches, but never crosses the line with the equation $y=-1.$ So, as $ x\rightarrow+\infty$, the function values, f(x)$\rightarrow-1$. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow+\infty}f(x)=-1$
