as x moves to 0 from the left side what is the function f(x) doing?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

can you see what behavior the graph f(x) doing as x moves towards 0 this what they mean in your question

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

B?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

well yes!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Tell me what is happening?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

i had a note written down that says "as x becomes a smaller negative number , F(x) becomes a large negative number.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

right! in the case of this function that is true, but not for all functions that since f gets closer and closer to some big number that we will never reach we say that f(x) is heading towards negative infinity if you consider the right side where x moves to 0 from the right f(x) get lager and lager moving towards infinity in the positive direction

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

oh ok i understand.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Alright! good! this is what we call limits are you familiar with this?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

thabks for the help \[\bigstar thanks \bigstar\]
