Use the definitions given in Exercise 57 to prove the following infinite limits.


lim x→1^+ 1 /1 − x=−∞

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand the problem: We need to prove that as x approaches 1 from the right (x → 1^+), the expression 1/(1-x) approaches negative infinity.
Consider the behavior of the denominator (1-x) as x approaches 1 from the right. Since x is slightly greater than 1, (1-x) becomes a small negative number.
Analyze the fraction 1/(1-x): As (1-x) becomes a small negative number, the fraction 1/(1-x) becomes a large negative number because dividing by a small negative number results in a large negative value.
Formalize the limit: For any large negative number M, we need to find a δ > 0 such that for all x satisfying 0 < x - 1 < δ, the inequality 1/(1-x) < M holds true.
Conclude the proof: By choosing δ = 1 - (1/M), we ensure that as x approaches 1 from the right, 1/(1-x) becomes less than any large negative number M, thus proving the limit is negative infinity.

Infinite Limits

Infinite limits describe the behavior of a function as it approaches a certain point, where the function's value increases or decreases without bound. In this case, as x approaches 1 from the right (1+), the function 1/(1-x) tends toward negative infinity, indicating that the values of the function decrease indefinitely.

One-Sided Limits

One-sided limits focus on the behavior of a function as it approaches a specific point from one direction only. The notation lim x→1^+ indicates that we are considering values of x that are greater than 1, which is crucial for understanding how the function behaves as it nears the point of interest from the right side.

Understanding the Function's Behavior

To analyze the limit lim x→1^+ 1/(1-x), it is essential to understand how the denominator behaves as x approaches 1 from the right. As x gets closer to 1, 1-x approaches 0, causing the fraction to grow larger in magnitude and negative, leading to the conclusion that the limit is negative infinity.
