All I can come up with is x to 9 sequentually type of thing there, and the infinite sign. Have no idea what that other sgn is. I'm missing an inside joke I guess.

Normally you'd have to specify from which direction x is approaching 8, which makes the difference between a positive and negative infinity for the result.

The symbol for infinity is like the number 8 rotated 90 degrees, so for the next one, the number 5 is rotated 90 degrees.

I had calculus my first semester of college. I was at Ecro's house most nights trying to make sense of it. He had the same class, same text, but my professor made it unnecessarily hard.

Even if I didn't have a hard time in the class though, I probably still would't know if that first equation is actually a real one.

But I don't get the luls. Why is putting the number sideways funny? Is the first one supposed to be the sign for infinity? Nvm me. :dizzy
