  • In this video I explained why the limits of some rational functions do not exist. This is done by taking one-sided limits at the point of interest. The limit does not exist when one-sided limits do not equal each other.

    In general, if non-zero/zero, we use the approach in this video. If zero/zero, we use factor out and cancel strategy .Then just substitute. I made a mistake on on my math quiz for zero/zero question. I was supposed to use factor out and cancel, but I used the infinite limits approach.

    I was learned to call such a function as having left hand side limit and right hand side limit, which are simply different, be it infinity or finite numbers. But I understand that the limit of infinity, regardless of it being of the same or different signs from the sides, means that the value of the function is undefined at such a point, since infinity is not a number.

  • @justinpeabody3570
    @justinpeabody3570 Před 2 měsíci

    Simply, the limit in the thumbnail image does not exist because substituting 3 in for x produces a nonzero number in the numerator divided by zero in the denominator. Whenever this happens, the limit cannot exist. If substitution gave you zero divided by zero, the limit could exist. Also, you could think about it like this: a vertical asymptote occurs at x=3, and limits never exist (as finite values) at vertical asymptotes.

    Now wait a minute! The lim as x->0 of 1/x^2 approaches +infinity from the left and the right, however the limit does not exist because a limit is finite and +infinity is unbounded. Therefore the limit does not exist because limits are finite.

    • @PrimeNewtons
      @PrimeNewtons  Před rokem +1

      I see what you're saying but 'unbounded' just means infinitely large positive or negative number. Whereas, DNE means it is impossible to determine whether it is positive or negative. So lim(sinx) does not exist, but sin x is bounded between -1 and 1. Hope this helps.

      @@ts37924it’s a point of view thing. When the limit is positive or negative infinity it is said that the function diverges to infinity. To say the limit is infinity is to say we know that the function is will grow in an unbounded way as x approaches the trouble point.

    • @PrimeNewtons
      @PrimeNewtons  Před rokem +1

      You are mostly correct . If limit is infinity, it DOES NOT EXIST. However, at this level of math , students need to know the 3 cases because they need the specifics for curve sketching. And if you check most calculus assessments, they are expected to specify. That's why I do it this way.

    • @ts37924

      ​@@PrimeNewtonswait.. limit does not exist if f(x) approaches an infinite value ?? Does that mean a limit exists only when f(x) approaches a finite value?... Because I thought limit of a function f(x) is nothing but the value that a function approaches as x approachs a given value at point. And that limit exists as long as the limit from both directions agree i.e function approaches a common value from both directions, regardless of whether f(x) approaches a finite or an infinite value.

    You have made one (twice) minor error. For example, when x is 3.00001, a nominator is not 5, but 3.00001 + 2 = 5.00001. Similarly, when x = 2.99999, the nominator isn't 5, it is 2.9999 + 2 = 4.99999. Excuse me for being such a hairsplitter.

    Answer is DNE

  • @kennethgee2004
    @kennethgee2004 Před měsícem

    first of all you just know is not an argument. I just know because you state a reason is an argument. Like I now because i have seen this form of limit and thew general equation has a vertical asymptote and the limit from the left and right do not converge is an argument. "Just trust me bro" is not used in math and science. Funny? maybe.

    • @kennethgee2004
      @kennethgee2004 Před měsícem

      but on a more serious note. this is why we should have never dropped the infinitesimal part from calculus. it would be accurate to say that as we approach the limit as x approaches 3 from the left or right that we are adding or taking away an infinitesimal. such that the equation does not need concrete examples this would show that on either side of the asymptote that the signs of the graph changes and thus do not converge. We could also look at converge tests to prove that the limit does not converge and thus is DNE.
