lim 1/(x+2).(X-2) x->2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\lim_{x\to2}{1\over(x+2)(x-2)}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

can you find the left and right hand limits?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\lim_{x\to2^+}{1\over(x+2)(x-2)}\]and\[\lim_{x\to2^-}{1\over(x+2)(x-2)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it has 2 answers? i did that already but it says the answer is \[1/3\sqrt[3]{4}\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

that's not correct...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, thank you. I was just checking :)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sure you're looking at the right problem :P ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thank you anyway.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

well I'm telling you the answer to the problem you posted is that the limit does not exist, so there must be a typo in your book

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got to the same answer as you, guess the book is wrong then haha.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh it's very wrong http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=limit+x+to+2+1%2F%28%28x-2%29%28x%2B2%29%29 the wolf agrees with us

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (turingtest):
