Question

question about limits...

Answer 1

\[\frac{ \lim }{ x->5^- }\frac{ x-2 }{ x-5 }\]

Answer 2

LOL!

Answer 3

OH.

Answer 4

Haha, Okay than.

Answer 5

so when I plug in 5 i get 3/0 which doesent seem right :(

Answer 6

\[\lim_{x\rightarrow5}\frac{x-2}{x-5}=|\frac{3}0|=\infty\]

Answer 7

5^-

Answer 8

Don't understand.

Answer 9

\[\frac{ \lim }{ x->5^- }\]

Answer 10

What does it mean?

Answer 11

as x approaches 5 from the left(1,2,3,4,4.9)

Answer 12

@Calle87 3/0 is infinity right ?
now since we have x->5- which means x is very near to y but LESS than 5, so we have x-5 as negative.
so the answer to this limit will be -infinity.
does this make sense ?

Answer 13

sure does, thanks @hartnn !!

Answer 14

numerator is positive, denominator goes to zero through negative numbers, so the fraction will be negative
therefore minus infinity

Answer 15

welcome :)
