please help with limit!! infinity/infinity form!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{ e^x }{ x^2-x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am as far as \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{ \frac{ e^x }{ x^2 } }{ 1-\frac{ 1 }{ x } }\] and im stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i have to even do anything or do i just have to fill in 0^+?

OpenStudy (ranga):

As x->0+, e^x -> 1 and the denominator tends to 0-, so -infinity is the limit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so where its just approaching from right i don't have to do anything else…? If this were just x->0, i would have to do it out, correct?

OpenStudy (ranga):

It has two different limits. Approaching from the right, the limit is -infinity. Approaching from the left, the limit is +infinity. So the limit does not exist at x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you, i just have to find it approaching form the right..

OpenStudy (ranga):

The limit is -infinity approaching from the right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (ranga):

you are welcome.
