Full solution

Q. limx7x+7x+7 \lim _{x \rightarrow-7} \frac{x+7}{|x+7|}
  1. Understand Expression Behavior: Understand the expression and its behavior near x=7x = -7. We need to evaluate the limit of x+7x+7\frac{x+7}{|x+7|} as xx approaches 7-7. Notice that the expression involves an absolute value, which affects the calculation depending on whether xx is less than or greater than 7-7.
  2. Left Side Limit Calculation: Consider the limit from the left side xx approaching 7-7 from values less than 7-7. When xx is slightly less than 7-7, x+7x+7 is slightly negative. Therefore, x+7=(x+7)|x+7| = -(x+7), and the expression becomes: x+7(x+7)=1\frac{x+7}{-(x+7)} = -1.
  3. Right Side Limit Calculation: Consider the limit from the right side xx approaching 7-7 from values greater than 7-7. When xx is slightly more than 7-7, x+7x+7 is slightly positive. Therefore, x+7=x+7|x+7| = x+7, and the expression becomes: x+7x+7=1\frac{x+7}{x+7} = 1.
  4. Comparison of Limits: Compare the two one-sided limits.\newlineThe left-hand limit as xx approaches 7-7 is 1-1, and the right-hand limit as xx approaches 7-7 is 11. Since these two limits are not equal, the overall limit does not exist.
