Finding Limits: Numerical and Graphical Approaches · Exercise 52

Allow the speed of light, $c,$ to be equal to 1.0. If the mass, $m,$ is 1, what occurs to $m$ as $v\to c?$ Using the values listed in the table, make a conjecture as to what the mass is as $v$ approaches 1.00.

$$\begin{array}{cc}v& m\\ \text{0.5}& \text{1.15}\\ \text{0.9}& \text{2.29}\\ \text{0.95}& \text{3.20}\\ \text{0.99}& \text{7.09}\\ \text{0.999}& \text{22.36}\\ \text{0.99999}& \text{223.61}\end{array}$$

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
