[tex] f(x)=\frac{1}{1+ln|x|}\\[/tex]
[tex] x\neq \frac{1}{e}\\[/tex]
[tex] x\neq \frac{-1}{e}\\[/tex]
[tex] lim_{x->\frac{1}{e}^+}\frac{1}{1+ln|x|}=\\[/tex]
[tex] lim_{x->\frac{1}{e}^-}\frac{1}{1+ln|x|}=\\[/tex]
i can't immagine ithe values in this function
??

First, 1/e is a positive number so you can just drop the absolute value.

Second, ln e-1= -1. Since ln(x) is an increasing function, if x< e-1, ln(x)< -1 and if x> e-1, ln(x)> -1. That's all you need.
