limits...

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tried anything yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the limit when x approaches 9^- for x+9, and find the limit x approaches 9^+ and see if it exists or not.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

wait wouldnt i plug in 9?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

it would be 18 but since x<9 then wouldnt it not exist?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do left and right side to see if it exists

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

well 27-9=18 also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge \lim_{x \rightarrow 9^{-}} x+9\] \[\huge \lim_{x \rightarrow 9^{+}} 27-x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So does the limit x-> 9 exist? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If they both = 18, yes the limit is continuous and it exists.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

wait @iambatman so for this one the limit wouldnt exist since one of them =0?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i only need some one to check if its right .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same process, what did you get?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i already sadi, i believe that the limit does not exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe you're right

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Go my batman, go ;)

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yay c: i have like 3 more c: if you will please....

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

|dw:1399419249713:dw| so itd be 1/9-9 which is 1/0 so its dosent exist c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

UNDEFINED, yup.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

oh just kidding i have to find vertical asymptotes .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

and identify the limit... so the limits -infinity and vertical.... i have no idea .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to look at the denominator of w e you just showed me... and what makes it = 0 is a candidate for vertical asymptote, so in your case 9. Then you have to find the limit and see if it = infinity or not, if it does, than it will have a vertical asymptote.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

wait so the vertical asymptote in 9 and the limits -infinity right?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

@Luigi0210

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Well here's what your graph looks like:

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\(\Large \lim_{x \rightarrow 9^+} f(x)=\infty\) and \(\Large \lim_{x \rightarrow 9^-} f(x)=-\infty\) so in conclusion \(\Large \lim_{x \rightarrow 9} f(x)=DNE\) because \(\Large \lim_{x \rightarrow 9^+} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \rightarrow 9^-} f(x) \)
