Please help with the following LIMIT:-----

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}(2/x)=-\infty.\]

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Why the answer is {- infinite}?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

What is the reason behind this? Please Help:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because all the numbers on the LEFT of 0 is negative so 2 divided by some negative number is negative...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and as you get closer to 0 from the left, you're dividing by a number very close to zero which makes the magnitude very big (infinite) but negative.
