Re: Limits!

Hi anonimnystefy,

I find most of the limits yield to the techniques discussed here.
I'll post if I find something extraordinary!

I couldn't come up with another method, can you?

Let x = 1/y.  As x --> 0, then 1/y --> 0.

So y --> oo (or -oo).

The limit could be expressed as:

Notes:
--------

Step 2 to step 3 used the Binomial Theorem.

Step 3 through step 5 could use some
justification/details to support the
continued patterns of terms and expressions,
respectively.

Re: Limits!

Hi anonimnystefy;

Is this one you want help on?

I have never done one but I know how the packages do them. I think they nest the limits:

Just plug x = 0 into the limit:

I am not following you, are you saying the limits do not exist?

Re: Limits!

the one in #140 doesn't exist because when we aproach it from two different paths it has different values.it is similair to the situation with one variable limits when the left and the right limit do not match up.
