Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 7 points)

Use graphs and tables to find the limit and identify any vertical asymptotes of limit of 1 divided by the quantity x minus 3 as x approaches 3 from the left.

∞ ; x = -3
-∞ ; x = -3
-∞ ; x = 3
1 ; no vertical asymptotes

Answer 1

-∞ ; x = 3

Explanation:

The graph tends toward -∞ as x approaches 3 from the left. Thus there is a vertical asymptote at x=3, the value of x that makes the denominator zero.
