Question

lim x approach 5 as (5/(x-5))+((x)/(5-x))

Answer 1

I don't understand

Answer 2

have you tried dividing everything by x, then finding the limit?

Answer 3

can you draw out how that would look like?

Answer 4

nevermind that doesnt work

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

if I plug in 5 then it would not work so I dont know what to do with this problem to find a limit or does it just not exist

Answer 7

i also plugged it into wolfram and it answered -1 but i dont know how to get to that solution

Answer 8

you cannot just plug in numbers to find the limit
you need to find the limit as it approaches 5 from the left side and find the limit as x approaches 5 from the right side

if they are equal, then thats the limist
if they are not equal, then no limit exists

Answer 9

I know that. but you are supposed to "plug in" the value x approaches to find the limit if you can

Answer 10

ok, first write 5-x as -(x-5)

Answer 11

okay

Answer 12

so u get

got that ?
