Use the Graph to Determine the Limit Visually (If It $$f ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } - 1 } { x + 1 }$$

Multiple Choice

Use the graph to determine the limit visually (if it exists) .Then identify another function f₂(x) that agrees with the given function at all but one point.
$$f ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } - 1 } { x + 1 }$$ $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ) = ?$

A) $f _ { 2 } ( x ) = x - 1$ $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ) = 1$
B) $f _ { 2 } ( x ) = 2 x - 1$ $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ) = 3$
C) $f _ { 2 } ( x ) = 2 x + 1$ $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ) = 5$
D) $f _ { 2 } ( x ) = x + 1$ $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ) = 5$
E) $f _ { 2 } ( x ) = x + 1$ $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ) = 3$
