The function is .

Observe the graph:

(a) Find .

As  tends to  from left hand side, approaches to .

As tends to from right hand side, approaches to .

Since the limit from left hand side and right hand side are equal, Limit exist.

.

(b) Find .

As tends to from left hand side, approaches to .

As tends to from right hand side, approaches to .

Since the limit from left hand side and right hand side are equal, Limit exist.

.

If , then the function is undefined.

Take out common factor .

Cancel the common terms.

The simpler form of  function is .
