Re: Question about limit fact.

Hi,

I have a question about : http://imgur.com/RU7PvtJ

I actually understand what I need to do. I need to see if both one sided limits are the same to establish that the limit exists. The only thing which I just find weird is the "since y --> 2^(-) implies y<-2"

Can somebody explain me where this y --> 2^(-) is coming from ??

Re: Question about limit fact.

is a left-handed limit. This means that y is tending towards -2 from values less than -2 (or from the left of -2). This is why y<-2. That is why they used

Re: Question about limit fact.

Ok, bu they did an error, we should read y --> -2^(-) and not y --> 2^(-)

The same thing goes for : y --> -2^(+) and not y --> 2^(+)
