[Maximum number: 2]

Let $f(x)=\frac{2 x-6}{1-x}$ , for $x \neq 1$ .

Find $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)$ .

valid approach
eg recognizing that $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}$ is related to the horizontal asymptote, table with large values of x, their y value from (a)(iii), L'Hopital's rule $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=-2$
