I took a screenshot and put it in a word doc and embedded that in a excel sheet and sent it in an email…

Like an AI’s idea of what a font looks like.

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

The first one is incorrect, the limit doesn’t exist unless you specify whether you’re coming from the left or right.
On another note, I think their student has invented a new symbol for “Does Not Exist”.

lim means glue in Swedish.
That’s all I know.

Story time, third grader me would have done this no questions about it.
Having to solve multiplication and recently had learned the table of 9 trick i was looking if there where other tricks I could find.
The first one was number x10 and what i observed is that if you do times ten. You take the number. And you put 1 “0” behind it.
Interesting…. I thought
But the next one multiplied with a single digit so how could i apply that theory.
Simple. 1+0 is 1, which is a single digit so if you multiply by 10, you actually multiply by 1+0 which means you put 1 zeros behind it
Multiple by 2 is short for multiply By 2+0, put 2 zeros behind it
Multiply by 9, put 9 zeros behind it.
I definitely knew this is not what we had learned, and knew there was a “chance” i was going to fail all of these, i also even knew some of the actual answers however i also believed there was a chance that i found an alternative equally good solution, and I consciously decided to take that risk because I wanted to know if i was right. Maybe I discovered something new
My teacher was not happy to say the least, and in that (actual) furry did treat me unfair and it still bothers me. Because i got a zero for the assignment… while i was very certain that the 2 occurrences of x10 did have the appropriate solution.

This is why we need quantum computing. Traditional computing doesn’t account for sideways numbers.

It’s been a while… but isn’t that negative?
Or is there some default given of which side it’s approaching from.

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.

Is that the Tootsie Roll Theorem?
ch00f@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yeah, it would have to be defined as a one-sided limit.

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.
rooroo@feddit.org 1 day ago
Yeah but then it should be negative infinite, cause if x<8 the fraction is negative.
carmo55@lemmy.zip 22 hours ago
This is just not true. The normal limit we have here means a limit would have to exist from both directions and they should be equal.
One-sided limits would be denoted by x -> 5– and x -> 5+ or similar.
PS: in complex analysis, there is no distinction between +infty and -infty, so there it would be correct to say the function has limit infty at 5.
Ooops@feddit.org 1 day ago
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: Limes
