The function is
.
When
approaches to
from the left ,
is a small negative number.
Thus , the quotient
is a large negative number and
approaches negative infinity from the left
.
.
decreases without bound as
approaches
from the left.
We can verify the limit by the below table .

A limit in which
increases or decreases without bound as
approaches
is called an infinite limit.
