find the limit as x approaches 3 of (1)/(x-3)

OpenStudy (clara1223):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 3}\frac{ 1 }{ x-3 }\]

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

What does the denominator do as x approaches 3?

OpenStudy (clara1223):

@tkhunny it becomes 0...?

OpenStudy (clara1223):

please help! i have this and one more limit problem and i'm done and ive been studying all day and im exhausted and I just don't understand these.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I suggest looking at a table of values specifically x values close to x = 3 like x = 3.1, x = 3.01, x = 3.001 and x = 2.99, x = 2.999, x = 2.9999, etc
