Math Problem Statement
Find the limit if it exists: lim (x -> 0^+) (6/x - 6/|x|).
Solution
The limit provided in the image is:
Let's break this down:
-
As , this implies we are approaching 0 from the positive side. For , we know that because the absolute value of a positive number is just the number itself.
-
Therefore, as , the expression becomes:
- Simplifying this:
Thus, the limit is:
