find the limit of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 1+} (1)\div(x ^{2}-1)\]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

since \(x\to1+\) this means that \(x>1\) so \(x^2>1\) or \(x^2-1>0\)

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large \lim_{x\to1+}\frac{1}{x^2-1}=\frac{1}{1-1}=\frac{1}{0+}= \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is \[\infty\] correct

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

notice that \(x^2-1>0\) so, though x^2-1 turns zero, it does so with positive numbers !!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

\[ \large =+\infty \]
