... A good day to you, When I finished watching evaluating the indeterminate limit #5, I was thinking of an alternative way to solve the same limit as follows: lim(x-->4)((sqrt(x + 5) - 3)/(x - 4)) (Rewrite the denominator (x - 4) as: (x - 4) = (x + 5) - 9 and treat this new expression as a difference of two squares: (x - 4) = (x + 5) - 9 = (sqrt(x + 5) - 3)(sqrt(x + 5) + 3) to finally cancel the common factor (sqrt(x + 5) - 3) of numerator and denominator to obtain the solvable limit form: lim(x-->4)(1/(sqrt(x + 5) + 3)) = 1/(3 + 3) = 1/6 ... to my surprise it works out; hope you appreciate this alternative approach too ... Thank you for your great math efforts, Jan-W
Is the solution for lim x approaches to -2 |x+2|/(x+2) equal to does not exist or i can do something more?
if you arrive at #/0, this does not necesarily mean that the limit is DNE. I am seing many cases in which they do in fact exist, while being #/0.

Sorry, so ive figure out, if x --> 0, its in these cases where #/0 is not DNE

Im so happy to hear that. My school year starts next week and then you can expect regular content throughout the whole year. If you have trouble with anything let me know. And help me spread the word about about the channel! We are kind of new and want to help as many kids as possible! We feel so bad for what you guys are going through! Have a great day!

Good work, could I say when a function itself is not able to produce output at a specific input and it haults the operation at a specific x value. To overcome this situation we take help from the limit and limit helps us to take out of this situation. After calculating the limit value we GIVE THIS VALUE TO THAT FUNCTION WHICH WAS Not PRODUCING ANY OUTPUT AT SPECIFIC INPUT??? iF THIS IS THE CASE THEN can say that function and limit both are different BUT it is the limit which helps the function which was trapped on a specific value and now because of limit function is able to walk smoothly again?? In a result could I say that whenever a function trapped in an undefined situation, we have to bring in LIMIT at this point?? please help me out! thanks.
How do I solve if its like this lim { 2, x { x^2-2x+1, x>= -1 x-> -1 both of the limit is different, so does this mean the limit does not exist? (I got 2, and for the bottom I got 4)
Such an underrated channel you just nailed it ma'am😊

Example number 2 isn't it supposed to be 1, because -2² is -4 which will make the numerators -4+4+4=4 and the denominator =4 which will be 4/4=1?
Very well organized and explained! 😊

Whoa whoa whoa 4:25 this limit is NOT DNE! Do not write that people! Just because the function does not exist where x is approaching, does not mean there isn’t a limit. It means there is either a vertical asymptote, jump, or a removal discontinuity (hole) in your graph. If you get a number/0 after plugging in, that means that your answer can be DNE, infinity, or negative infinity.

Hi TheCatch- unfortunately you are incorrect. We aren’t looking at one sided limits here, if we were we could describe the limit as positive or negative infinity. The definition of a limit specifically states that the answer must be a number and infinity is not a number. If there was a removable discontinuity we would have gotten 0/0 when originally plugging in. There is most definitely not a jump discontinuity since this is not a piecewise function and is comprised of a quotient of polynomials (which is the type of functions focused on in this video). Since we got a number over a 0, that alludes to a vertical asymptote, which means the graph is approaching + or - infinity which again, cannot be stated as answer to this problem. We say the limit does not exist, and would have to do further investigation using one sided limits to accurately describe the behavior of the function. Hope this helps your confusion. 😊

@@themathandphysicstutor looks like I thought that the limit was as x approached 0, not 2. That was my problem. If it was approaching 0 it would be 1/2.
