Limits discussion.

Today in class we talked a lot about limits and about e and things like that. We reviewed a formula and graph for e. The formula was e=LIM(1+1/N)^N. And the graph was just normal started off then went up but the problem was that it said the graph was becoming and changing but it was also said to be a constant. This creates problems because it is controversial saying that something is changing but it is a constant. It is becoming but no complete and it is still a constant. And the thing that makes it messed up is the y=e asymptote because the line cannot go past that asymptote. Depending on who is looking at it, it can either be controversy or accepted. The horizontal asymptote that started the conversation was identified that if x has a limit then y is a constant then the e conversation started. It is confusing when we got to the question about how x is defined by infinity I think that was said and how things just keep going, confusing.
