Calculus help. I just want am answer check and find out whether this limit is DNE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (adamaero):

is DNE ~ funny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does not exist

OpenStudy (adamaero):

So you found all those values on your calculator aproaching 3.75 and you think it DNE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No neccesarily. I saw that for my 3.0 values that they were decreasing and my cal teacher didn't really tell us what to classify it as.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And my 2.9 values increasing

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Ya, there's an asymptote at 3.75

OpenStudy (adamaero):

To solve this problem you will need to factor the top and bottom, and cancel what is the same on top/bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks

OpenStudy (adamaero):

the top was tricky

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the actual numerical I got 0/2 which is zero .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After factoring everything

OpenStudy (adamaero):

(x - 3)(? ? ?) ---------- (x+1)(x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. But the top still equals 0

OpenStudy (adamaero):

what did you fator the top as?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I redid the top its not zero sorry. (X-3)(x2+x+3).ok I get it now thanks so much

OpenStudy (adamaero):

see how the limit IS approaching your calculator values

OpenStudy (adamaero):

limits are fun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol I guess.
