Question

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

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

yes x is usually the input

Answer 7

Super!
