Draw on graph paper the graph of single a function that satisfies the following conditions. lim f(x)=infinity x arrow -2
\[ f(x)=\infty \]\[x \rightarrow -2\]
Can you help me out
Yeah, do they want the limit to equal infinity from both sides, or just one side?
um I don't know I am really confused so I don't even know where to begin
and it does not say for the infinity
Do you understand limits?
no
Okay, so the question is looking for an equation, that when we plug a number like -1.9998 it will get quite big.
As the function approaches the number -2, it will get infinitely large, but it will be undefined at x = -2
ok
Hm, I'm trying to think of an equation where the limit would be infinity from both sides.
ok
Almost got it, just testing it now.
This is actually really difficult, is that exactly how the problem worded it?
yes
You know what, I think they want this 1/(x+2) as the function.
We can restrict it to only positive integers too, I guess.
ok
Do you know what function looks like?
