Math Problem Statement
Evaluate the limit: lim(x→−∞) 1/x
Solution
The question asks to evaluate the limit:
Solution:
As approaches negative infinity, the denominator becomes a very large negative number. Since the numerator remains , we can analyze the behavior of as follows:
- As becomes more negative, the fraction approaches , but it remains negative.
- Thus, the value of approaches from the negative side.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
