Make a table of values of f(x) for x = ±1, 0.1, 0.01, and ±0.001. Use your
table to guess a limiting value for f(x) as x → 0. Finally, use difference-
of-squares rationalization to find a continuous function g(x) whose domain
contains (-1, ∞) such that f(x) equals g(x) on (-1,0) U (0, ∞o). Use this to
prove that your guess is correct.
