Hm... well... in the sense that some parabolas constantly get closer to the line, but some cut straight through the axis |

You have 1/n, and n gets mighty close to infinity. Basically, 1/big #. That will be darn close to 0, right? Because 1/99999999999 is fairly small thus fairly zeroesque. So the limit of 1/n, as n nears infinity, is 0. I think. |

Don't double post. And no, it is not zero, it's limit is zero, as in it will never reach zero, because there will always be a denominator. I think. |

Ohhhhh... So that means I get to post in "Other Math Classes" instead of "AHA"? |
