find the limit as x approaches 10 of abs(x)/x

OpenStudy (clara1223):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 10}\frac{ \left| x \right| }{ x }\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is the limit from the left? what is the limit from the right?

OpenStudy (clara1223):

1 and -1. I thought the limit didn't exist but that was wrong.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it is not 1 and -1 tho, x=10 is rather far away from the 'vertex'

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is the function continuous at x=10?

OpenStudy (clara1223):

|dw:1441405357951:dw| Is this piecewise function wrong? that's how I simplify that function

OpenStudy (clara1223):

and i'm not sure if it's continuous

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your function definition is fine as is now read carefully, what is your x approaching? you have x to 10 posted.

OpenStudy (clara1223):

yes that's correct.

OpenStudy (clara1223):

WAIT is the limit 1?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1441405531048:dw|
