Then the limit exists and it's 3 :)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27598&post=478085 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 19:11:46 +0100 Reply by joesefff https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27598/page-2/?recent=478114#post=478084 Quoted from scatmo
I got 3 1-(-1)-(-1)^5 = 1+1+1 = 3 Wolfram Alpha says it's 3 too But if the function is (-1-x-x^5): -1-(-1)-(-1)^5 = -1+1+1 = 1 Which function is in your textbook?

Ups, your x tends to -1, not to 0. In that case your solution is correct. :*
So, the correct answer is 3, Not 1?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27598&post=478081 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 18:44:35 +0100 Reply by Juniorsatan https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27598/page-1/?recent=478114#post=478080 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27598&post=478080 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 18:43:42 +0100 Reply by joesefff https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27598/page-1/?recent=478114#post=478078 Quoted from nTraum
When calculating limes, the variable in the equation (x) tends to 0. What happens to the term x and x^5 if x becomes incredibly small or 0?
