What's the limit of #1/(x-1)arctan(2/(x-1)-pi/2)# as x approaches positive 1 ? Thanks! Calculus Limits Determining One Sided Limits 1 Answer Cesareo R. Nov 23, 2016 #oo# Explanation: #lim_(x->1)arctan(a/(x-1)+b)# with #a > 0# is #pi/2# so #lim_(x->1)1/(x-1)arctan(2/(x-1)-pi/2) = lim_(x->1)1/(x-1)lim_(x->1)arctan(2/(x-1)-pi/2) = oo xx pi/2= oo# Answer link Related questions When is a one sided limit undefined?
