00:01 Here we have a limit that we want to estimate if it numerically exists.
00:04 So let's start off by saying we have the limit as x approaches negative one of x squared plus 2x plus one over x plus one.
00:12 The first step whenever you want to compute an algebraic limit is just plug it in and see what happens.
00:18 Sometimes it may not work out so well but at least you'll have some given some more information.
00:22 So if i plug in negative one i get one minus two plus one that's two minus two that's divided by zero.
00:28 Since it's zero divided by zero that gives me the information that i don't know enough yet.
00:34 Let's simplify this down...
