Answer

See examples below.

Work Step by Step

Example 1. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{1}{(x-1)}$ is a $\displaystyle \frac{k}{0}$ form, which is determinate, but it doesn't exist, because $\displaystyle \frac{k}{0^{+}}=\pm\infty, \qquad \frac{k}{Small}=Big $ the left sided limit is $-\infty$, and the right-sided one is $+\infty.$ Example 2. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{3x^{2}+x-85}{4x+1}$ is a $\displaystyle \frac{\infty}{\infty}$ form, which is indeterminate. After applying theorem 10.2, we can discard all but the leading terms. Thus, we have the limit: $=\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{3x^{2}}{4x}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{3x}{4}$$=+\infty$
