- In Exercises 1–4, show that the limit leads to an indeterminate form. Then carry out the two-step procedure: Transform the function alge- braically and evaluate using continuity.arrow_forwardThe process by which we determine limits of rational functions applies equally well to ratios containing noninteger or negative powers of x: Divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of x in the denominator and proceed from there. Find the limits in Exercises 23–36.arrow_forwardQUESTION 42 : In Exercises 29–46, use the limit definition to compute f′(a) and find an equation of the tangent line.arrow_forward

No formulas are required-just label the coordinate axes and sketch an appropriate graph. (The answers are not unique, so your graphs may not be exactly like those in the answer section.) 75. f(0) = 0, f(1) = 2, f(-1) = -2, lim f(x) = -1, and x--00 lim f(x) = 1 76. f(0) = 0, lim f(x) = 0, lim f(x) = 2, and lim f(x) = -2 x→0* %3D 77. f(0) = 0, lim f(x) = 0, lim f(x) = lim f(x) = ∞, x-too x→1- x--1+ = -0, and lim f(x) = -∞ lim f(x) x→1* 78. f(2) = 1, f(-1) = 0, lim f(x) = 0, lim f(x) = ∞, x→0* lim f(x) = -00, and lim f(x) = 1 X -00arrow_forwardUse tables of values to make educated guesses for each of the limits in Exercises 39–52. 39. lim (x2 + x+ 1) 40. lim (1 – 3x +x²) x+2- X3+ 1 41. lim 1+2 x2 – 4 1 42. lim x1 1- x х — 3 х — 5 43. lim x-3 (x2 – 2)(x – 3) 44. lim x+5 x2 – 25 3 45. lim X+2 4 - 2* 2x 46. lim (Зe + 1) X00 Зх + 1 1+ 2x 47. lim X-00 1- r 48. lim X00 Y -1 x+1 1 + 2x +1 1 49. lim x-0 x2 - 1 50. lim (1+ X00 51. lim sinx 52. lim sin x00arrow_forward
