Great video! I am currently in 8th grade Algebra 1 Honors and my friend recommended I watch your video. It explained it perfectly. Thank you!

1/x^2 is always positive where x <0 or x>0, in this case x>0 means 1/x^2 as lim x (+) --> ~ is equal 0. or lim x(-) -->~ is equal 0

You took 3.75 minutes BEFORE starting. You talk too much! Great course, but you talk too much.

First off, Infinite is not a number. I have never seen a proof of that.

Second. When we you talk about a Limit of a function you're indeed talking about two Limits, the Limit of the function itself and the Limit of ...let's say, the "rate of rapprochement" to that Limit of the function. The Limit of the function is, say, "x" but the Limit of the "RoR" will be always 0, which 0 doesn't mean you reached the Limit of the function but, that your approach comes to a stop.
The problem here is that if we hold to the Limit of the function being "x" then the Limit of RoR can't be 0 but, on the other side, if we hold to the Limit of the RoR being 0 then the Limit of the function can't be "x".
It is like hitchhiking in any direction but no one takes you.

How do we look at it?
