Let g(x)=3x+1x(x−4)g(x)=\dfrac{3x+1}{x(x-4)}, defined for all real x≠0,4x\neq 0,4. (a) Calculate lim⁡x→0−g(x)\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^{-}} g(x). Show all steps in your reasoning. (b) Calculate lim⁡x→0+g(x)\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^{+}} g(x). (c) Calculate lim⁡x→4−g(x)\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 4^{-}} g(x). (d) Calculate lim⁡x→4+g(x)\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 4^{+}} g(x). (e) Based on your results, list the equations of all vertical asymptotes of gg and indicate on which side(s) the graph of gg approaches +∞+\infty and on which side(s) it approaches −∞-\infty. Justify your conclusions.
