Find the limit.
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 10^{+}} \frac{ \left| x-10 \right| }{ x-10 }\]
ooo I just took a test on this.
@SanjanaP please :)
Hold on.
First, recognize that by direct substitution, the limit is of the indeterminate form zero over zero. Next, rewrite the function. Recall the definition of absolute value. Since this is a piecewise function, the limit is evaluated by considering the one-sided limits.
Let’s consider the limit from the left. There is a common factor of x minus ten in both the numerator and denominator. By cancelling the common factor the function is simplified to negative one.
Now, let’s consider the limit from the right. Again, there is a common factor of x minus ten in both the numerator and denominator. By cancelling the common factor the function is simplified to one.
Since you wanted it from the right, its 1. Got your answer and explanation? @dimensionx
Thanks
