Determine the infinite limit

I'll just show one because I want to see how to do it so please show me the work you did so I can try on the other two.

limx->3- = square root X/(x-3)^5

As x approaches 3 from the left, (x-3)5 approaches 0 from the left


So, √x/(x-3)5 approaches -∞.

Sorry to ask, but can you show how you got negative infinity?

The numerator gets closer and closer to square root of 3 while the denominator gets very close to 0 through negative values. For example, if x = 2.999, then the ratio becomes square root of 2.999 divided by (-0.001)^5
