HELP WITH LIMITS!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you familiar with the graph of y=tan(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the limit to exist, the limit from the right must be equal to the limit from the left

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

And do you know what the symptotes of Tan (x) are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i can graph that @completeidiot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @Jhannybean

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

when you graph it where does the value of tan (x) approach but not reach? From positive and negative infinity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the question is what is the limit of \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} ^+} \tan x\] and what is the limit of \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} ^-} \tan x\] and are the 2 limits equal to each other if yes, then the limit is the value if no, then no limit exists

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

|dw:1370652120061:dw| pay attention to the arrows. when you plug in x= pi/2 into tan (x) do you get a value that the limit is approaching,or something else?
