OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you graph tangent function on a calculator, tan(pi/2) goes up to infinity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is infinity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I only have -1, 1, 0 and does not exist for the choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, dne works too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because infinity is also does not exist.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay that makes sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is controversial in the mathmatical world, some ppl say infinity but some ppl think it should be called dne.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (zarkon):

The limit is not infinity...it is DNE this is a two sided limit...from on side you get +infinity and from the other you get -infinity therefore the limit Does Not Exist
