Use graphs and tables to find the limit and identify any vertical asymptotes of limit of 1 divided by the quantity x minus 9 as x approaches 9 from the left.

The answers are :
negative infinity; x = -9
1; no vertical asymptotes
infinity; x = -9
negative infinity; x = 9

I have no clue where to start on this. Help @freckles @xapproachesinfinity

freckles · Answer

$$\lim_{x \rightarrow 9^-} \frac{1}{x-9}$$

freckles · Answer

do you know what the graph of 1/(x-9) looks like?

anonymous · Answer

Yes that's the problem. No I don't.

freckles · Answer

and if you don't ...
the graph of y=1/x is a pretty basic graph
you will just move y=1/x to the right 9 units
