\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f (x ) , \: \:where \: \: f (x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} x^2 -1 & x \neq 0 \\ -x^2 -1 & x > 1 \end{matrix}\right.

Limit at x=1^+

\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^+} f (x ) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} (-x^2-1)=-(1)^2-1=-2

Limit at x=1^-

\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^-} f (x ) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} (x^2-1)=(1)^2-1=0

As we can see that Limit at x=1^+ is not equal to Limit at x=1^-,The limit of this function at x = 1 does not exists.
