<p>it's unclear when you use the same variable (x) for two different values... i think what he meant to say was:</p>
<p>limit 1/x, x approaching (lim 1/z as z--> 0)... that would give zero...</p>
<p>Hee, those of you who haven't gotten it, be patient! (I did send one to you, stasterisk. :))</p>
<p>To end the suspense for the rest of you, it wasn't anything big -- the admissions office makes the list of admitted students available for a few weeks after letters are sent out, and current students can view the list and write postcards to the admits. So everybody who sent me their real name got a postcard! :D I did them last Thurs, so they should be getting to you any time now.</p>
<p>(And there were quite. a. few. My hand felt like it was going to fall off.)</p>
<p>"no... it's [1/x as x --> 0] infinity, 1/x @ x=0 is undefined..."</p>
<p>lim x-->0+ 1/x = +inf.
lim x-->0- 1/x = -inf.</p>
<p>lim DNE</p>
<p>pwned (chars)</p>
<p>right... i forgot the absolute value sign mathwiz... if you read all the posts... ; ) ... you're right though for the function w/o abs value...</p>
<p>OMG MOLLIE! You write your "a"'s like little alphas... XD <em>continues staring at the cute little alpha symbols</em> :D</p>
<p>oh there was an abs value? Sorry, it was late last night and I didn't feel like reading all the posts.</p>
