@Mike: You can type the less-than sign by typing an ampersand, then an lt, and then a semicolon, I believe. Example: < (If that doesn’t convert, forgive me…)

The less-than sign is only rejected because it’s also an angled bracket, which is used to mark up HTML.

@People saying “Stop taking this so seriously”: Consider what would happen if you replaced the ‘blonde’ in any blonde joke with a brunette. People would cry that the joke makes no sense. Someone from the outside who doesn’t understand the stereotype that blondes are dumb would exclaim, “Stop taking a joke so seriously, it screwed up a stereotype, sheesh”. That sounds ridiculous, but that’s exactly how you guys sound.

Okay if the limit approaches 8 from the right, then it would be infinity. sheesh

OK then… just relax and imagine a little “+” sign by the “lim”… does that make you happy? What geeks, picking apart a math joke… I mean, let me say this again: you’re taking a math joke seriously. Just think about that.

Yes David is definitely correct. You could use the response “infinity” to describe a quantity that increases without upper bound. So for example, as x approaches 8 from the right ( meaning values of x > 8 ), you could describe the limit by saying it “approaches infinity.” But definitely this is different from what happens as x approaches 8 from the left ( values of x

No you fools, Angel is correct. Observe:

x=1
f(x)=-1/7

x=9
f(x)=1

x=8.1

f(x)=10

x=7.9999
f(x)=10,000.0000000233
and so on

David’s correct, but HE’S RUINED THE HUMOUR.

You could say the limit doesn’t exist because the left and right side limits are unequal. You could say the limit does exist if you view the complex plane as the Riemann Sphere in which there is only one point at infinity, in this case infinity = -infinity. Depending on your view. As a beginner, you should think of the limit not existing, for the first reason and the second is because the limit is unbounded.

well, if something that is aproaching is ininit, then it also is starting from what ever it is aproaching, meaning its already there, no matter if its coming from the left, right, back, front, top, or bottum. and last i was told infinit means for ever going, so how can you get a number out of something that doesnt stop, and you can not messure with any numbers because you would just keep adding more and more numbers to the never ending thing. so if what ever it is you are trying to solve would be. if it deals with anything infinit to help solve it. they answer would always remain a “X” or “Y” or what ever letter is being put into the problem =D

P.S. dont know math, its randomness, and my logic. math doesnt always work with logic, but it still seams to work out somehow =D

oh ya, and i hope someone tries to explain it, for people who see this in the future and dont know what the hell is going on… like me ^^
