You can verify your conclusions by graphing the functions with a graphing calculator. x3 - 1 lim x3 + 7 X-- 00 (a) Use analytic methods to evaluate the limit. (If the limit is infinite, enter 'oo' or '-o', as appropriate. If the limit does not otherwise exist, enter DNE.) (b) What does the result from part (a) tell you about horizontal asymptotes? O The result does not yield any information regarding horizontal asymptotes. O The result indicates that there are no horizontal asymptotes. O The result indicates that there is a horizontal asymptote.arrow_forwardGive an example of a function f such that lim f(x) exists but f(0) does not exist.
