Quoted from nTraum

Ups, your x tends to -1, not to 0. In that case your solution is correct. :*

So, the correct answer is 3, Not 1?

I got 3

1-(-1)-(-1)^5 = 1+1+1 = 3

Wolfram Alpha says it’s 3 too

But if the function is (-1-x-x^5):

-1-(-1)-(-1)^5 = -1+1+1 = 1

Which function is in your textbook?

Then the limit exists and it’s 3 :)
