lim Sqrt(20x-8/10x-3y) x 4 I know the answer and I just want to learn about Limits, so any other example would suffice as well.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

plug in 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72/40-3y

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yep

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

this is a weird question, normally we only have one variable, but whatever...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so is 72/40-3y the answer

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

there are now limitation on y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In limits, do you just try to make the denominator zero

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

in general that is what you are trying to avoid.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lim p^2-9/5p+15 How would i solve this? x -3

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

should that x be a p?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is just another variable

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

it matters...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also imagine there are parenthesis

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

do you know about l'hopitals rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you need it for this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

because you get 0/0 if you plug it in

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so you take the derivative of top and bottom and then run the limit again. you will learn about this later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok Thank you
