\(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~7}\frac{1}{(x-7)^2}}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~7}\frac{1^2}{(x-7)^2}}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~7}\left( \frac{1}{x-7} \right)^2}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\left( \lim_{x \rightarrow ~7}~\frac{1}{x-7} \right)^2}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I have just applied basic algebra and limit rules.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman why did u skip me/ ignore me?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, do you think that \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow ~7}~\frac{1}{x-7} }\) exists or not?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not good at math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman please please i need help you're the best at math thats why you've helped all those people

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am bad at math. highjumpcollect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the limit does not exist then?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will u try i know you're the best

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Because, \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow ~7^-}~\frac{1}{x-7} =~-~\infty}\) \(\large\color{slate}{-\infty}\) because as \(\large\color{slate}{x\rightarrow~7^-}\), the denominator will be a very small negative decimal. \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow ~7^+}~\frac{1}{x-7} =~+~\infty}\) \(\large\color{slate}{-\infty}\) because as \(\large\color{slate}{x\rightarrow~7^+}\), the denominator will be a very small positive decimal.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

A case where, \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow ~7^-}~\frac{1}{x-7} \ne\lim_{x \rightarrow ~7^+}~\frac{1}{x-7} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

This is why there is no limit.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Questions?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Oh for second reasoning there should be a positive, not a negative infinity, excuse me for the typo.
