For the following three (03) items: Consider the function f(x) = x|x| . What is _ x -1 f(x) equal to?

Options

  1. A-1
  2. B0
  3. C1
  4. DLimit does not exist

Correct answer

A. -1

Step-by-step solution

Given the function f(x) = x|x| . We need to evaluate _ x -1 f(x) . Since x approaches -1 , x is negative, so |x| = -x . Thus, f(x) = x(-x) = -x^2 for x _ x -1 f(x) = _ x -1 (-x^2) = -(-1)^2 = -1 . Answer: -1
