What is meant by the following question: Determine the infinite limit of the following: limx→−3^- (x+2)/(x+3)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use a graph or plug in values that are close to -3 (to the left of -3 though, so values like -4, -3.1, -3.01, -3.001, etc)

But how would I solve that, since it goes to infinity? Am I just supposed to shown attempts through plugging values in, then say it equals infinity?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you basically show that as x gets closer to -3 from the left, y gets bigger and bigger in the negative direction

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and this continues forever (assuming you never reach x = -3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So when I plug the values in, do they go in for x?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes x is usually the input
