I think this is superbly appropriate for RHP Forum posters :
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!"
He said, "Nobody loves me."
I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?"
He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?"
He said, "Protesta ...[text shortened]... Lakes Region Council of 1912."
I said, "Die, heretic!"
kudos.
Originally posted by rubberjaw30I disagree. The limit of said expression does not exist, as the right hand limit (which is infinity) differs from the left hand (which is negative infinity). Therefore, both the right and left hand limits exist, but not the limit itself. One cannot divide by zero, therefore, without further specification.
the limit of (c/x) where c is any constant, and x approaches zero, is infinity

Originally posted by ark13wasn' expecting anyone to make a deal about that, so let me clarify, let's take the limit as x approaches zero from the positive direction, and we get infinity.If it makes it any better for you, let me completely rephrase, and say that I am taking the limit of (x^2)/(x^4) as x approaches zero, from either direction. we are essentially taking a limit of 1/x^2, except that f(x) is even, so the limit from the positive diection equals the limit from the negative direction.

Originally posted by ark13I was taught that negative infinity was equal to positive infinity as technically there is no such thing as "negative" infinity or "positive" as ininity is a concept of no limit which can be in any direction from zero.

A man and a woman get married and are laying down for the first time. His wife says, "Please be gentle, it's my first time." The husband became started and asked, "I thought I was your fourth husband. How can you still be a virgin?"
"Well" the wife explained, "My first husband was a gynocologist and all he wanted to do was look at it. My second husband was a physcologist and all he wanted to do was talk about. My third husband was a stamp collector and...". she paused, "God I miss him."
