You know, I used to think the educational system was in shambles up until college, where dedicated professors built up the intellectual integrity of the individual. BULLSHIT. I'm in college and PatrickJMT has succeeded where teachers who are paid handsomely have failed. And IT'S FREE. Thank you, you've saved me from failing my finals :)

@Jehanzebxkr1 I know the answer to your problem, I'm just not too sure how to convey it. Ok, you do what Patrick said about splitting the absolute values. You do it with both absolute values. Then you solve for the limit as y approaches 0 from the left with the negative values of the abs. val. You do the same as y approaches 0 from the right. IF I did it correct your answer should be negative infinity.

why can't we just put the -0 in the x at the beginning of the second example and say its : -1/0 -1/0 which equals - infinity -infinity and that equals -infinity ??

I was working a ... ( 2 weeks ago by ru2dumb4school)

I was working a problem that was absolute value of theta over theta as theta approaches for from the positive direction which of course equaled one. But then the answer to problem asking what the limit of theta was from the negative direction did not equal negative one. I can't find the answer, can you help? lim |theta|/ theta
theta approaches 4-
