How can you tell if a limit does not exit or that it goes to infinity?

examplelim[itex]\underbrace{x\rightarrow}_{0}[/itex]([itex]\frac{\sqrt{x+1}}{x}[/itex])

The x goes to 0The book says the limit is [itex]\infty[/itex] but if you take the left side limit you get -[itex]\infty[/itex] and if you take the right side of the limit you [itex]\infty[/itex]. So wouldn't this limit not exist, because you have two different limits?

Yes, I agree with you. I think there's a typo somewhere.
 
That's what I thought, thank you for looking at it.
