Answer

$ a.\quad -\infty$ $ b.\quad +\infty$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ When $t\rightarrow 0^{+}$, the denominator in $\displaystyle \frac{3}{t^{1/3}}$ is positive, approaching zero, so $\displaystyle \frac{3}{t^{1/3}}\rightarrow+\infty$ $(2-\displaystyle \frac{3}{t^{1/3}})\rightarrow-\infty$ $b.$ When $t\rightarrow 0^{-}$, the denominator in $\displaystyle \frac{3}{t^{1/3}}$ is negative, approaching zero, so $\displaystyle \frac{3}{t^{1/3}}\rightarrow-\infty$ $(2-\displaystyle \frac{3}{t^{1/3}})\rightarrow+\infty$
