009A Sample Final 2, Problem 8

Compute

(a)  $\lim _{x\rightarrow \infty }{\frac {x^{-1}+x}{1+{\sqrt {1+x}}}}$

(b)  $\lim _{x\rightarrow 0}{\frac {\sin x}{\cos x-1}}$

(c)  $\lim _{x\rightarrow 1}{\frac {x^{3}-1}{x^{10}-1}}$

Foundations:

In each part, compute the limit. If the limit is infinite, be sure to specify positive or negative infinity.
