PLEASE HELP. Ive looked all over for answers on how to even attempt to solve this problem.

****please note that the answers have to be an exact number. I can not put infinity symbols!!!***

(x + 8) / (x + 9) =>
(x + 9 - 1) / (x + 9) =>
(x + 9) / (x + 9) - 1 / (x + 9) =>
1 - 1/(x + 9)

1/(x + 9) is just 1/x shifted over to the left by 9 units, so we're really looking at the limit of 1/x as x approaches 0

x goes to 0 for 1/x

As x approaches from the left, 1/x goes to negative infinity
As x approaches from the right, 1/x goes to positive infinity

(x + 8) / (x + 9)

x + 8 is the numerator
as x approaches -9 from the left, x + 8 approaches -1

x + 9 is the denominator
as x approaches -9 from the left, x + 9 approaches 0

a) the numerator approaches -1

b) the denominator approaches 0
