That is not infinity, its undefined.
This only works if you use a one sided limit.
It’s been a while… but isn’t that negative?
Or is there some default given of which side it’s approaching from.
I have a BA in Mathematics. The limit is indeed determined by the direction you approach the limiting value.
When given without specification, the limit is implied to come from the left, meaning it increases towards the limiting value, which is why you see +inf.
Yeah but then it should be negative infinite, cause if x<8 the fraction is negative.
I think it is not defined. It has a limes from the left (- inf) and limes from the right (+ inf) but no two-sided limes.
Edit: wolframalpha agrees but I don’t know for sure
It has a limes from the left… and limes from the right…
Is that the Tootsie Roll Theorem?
You put the lime on the coconut and drink it all up.
It should be +/-∞
Minus or plus depending on the side from which you approach the limes.
Infinity limes? After all these years, this meme starts to make sense:
Just here to comment on the weird spreadsheet format (of that oooooold joke)
I took a screenshot and put it in a word doc and embedded that in a excel sheet and sent it in an email…

That’s a ChatGPT kind of answer. A pattern is recognized, but the meaning isn’t understood.
There’s no way ChatGPT would be creative enough to put a number on its side
