I really need help with this one, I have tried it and just can not figure it out... lim (x->0) square root(x+8)-8/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{x+8}-8}{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say limit doesn't exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you very much, how did you know that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

However when x approaches from the left, it gives -infinity, and when x approaches from the right, it gives +infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph is a reciprocal

Oh okay I see what you are saying, thank you that clears up the confusion I was having with this problem!
