hartnn (hartnn):

limit with x approaches what value ? 0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

is the question (-6+x)/x^4 or -6 + x/x^4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one

hartnn (hartnn):

you can directly plug in x =0 in your function, what do u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6/0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it doesn't exist? @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

it exists! -6/0 is \(\large -\infty \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh ok thanks! @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait thats not an answer choice? @hartnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 0 -6 Does not exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be -6?

hartnn (hartnn):

it must be -infinity i checked it with wolf too http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=limit+x-%3E+0+%28-6%2Bx%29%2Fx%5E4 with those choices, i would go with does not exist...though it actually exists

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks anyway ill ask my teacher monday!

hartnn (hartnn):

but if th question is -6 + x/x^4 then it surely does not exist
