- Finding a Limit In Exercises 41-46, write a simpler function that agrees with the given function at all but one point. Then find the limit of the function. Use a graphing utility to confirm your result. limx→0 x2 − 5x2/x2arrow_forwardCalculus I Evaluate lim x→1 f(x) where the graph of f(x) is.arrow_forwardComputational: Evaluate the limit of the following functions using the graphical, tabular and algebraic approaches. Use table of values in sketching the graph. The use of graphing software is for checking and verification purposes only. 5- V - V4 + 3x x3 -13x + 12 lim x-3 x3-14x + 15 (1) (3) lim x-7 7- x 2x*- 6x3 + x² + 3 lim 2x2 – 3x lim x-0 2 sin x (2) (4) x - 1 X-1arrow_forward

You can verify your conclusions by graphing the functions with a graphing calculator. x3 - 1 lim x3 + 7 X-- 00 (a) Use analytic methods to evaluate the limit. (If the limit is infinite, enter 'oo' or '-o', as appropriate. If the limit does not otherwise exist, enter DNE.) (b) What does the result from part (a) tell you about horizontal asymptotes? O The result does not yield any information regarding horizontal asymptotes. O The result indicates that there are no horizontal asymptotes. O The result indicates that there is a horizontal asymptote.arrow_forwardConsider the following function I< -3 f(r) = -3 < r<0 3 2.arrow_forward
