Find algebraically: lim(x->0) [(x^2 + 2x)/x^4]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ x^{2}+2x }{ x^{4} }\]

OpenStudy (antman):

can be simplify to \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} (x+2)/x^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yeah I gotcha, but if you sub 0 into that it, it's still indeterminate with the 0 in the denominator. So is it just no solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean no limit?

OpenStudy (antman):

yes, the limit does not exist, because if you approach from the the left side you get negative infinity and the right positive infinity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome, dude thanks!

OpenStudy (antman):

no problem
