“Given the function f(x) = (x² - 1)/(x - 1), create a table of values for x approaching 1 from both the left and the right. What do you observe about the values of f(x) as x approaches 1? Consider the function g(x) = (x³ - 8)/(x - 2). Set up a table of values for x approaching 2 from both the left and the right. What conclusions can you draw about the limit of g(x) as x approaches 2?”
