- Find the limit, if it exists. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) lim x → ∞ (e−x + 8 cos(3x))arrow_forwardQ2)valuate the limit: Limit x approach to 2 [sin(pi.x)]/[x^2-x-2]arrow_forwardGiven the function f(x)=7x-4x2a.Find f'(X) using the limit definition showing all work for credit b.Write the equation of the tangent line to the curve above at the point (1,3)arrow_forward
- Evaluate the limit using L'Hospital's RUle if necessary.

- Guess the value of the limit (if it exists) by evaluating the function at the given numbers. (It is suggested that you report answers accurate to at least six decimal places.) Let f(x)=cos(9x)−cos(2x)/x^2 We want to find the limit limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(2x)/x^2 Start by calculating the values of the function for the inputs listed in this table. x f(x) 0.2 0.1 0.05 0.01 0.001 0.0001 0.00001 Based on the values in this table, it appears limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(2x)/x^2=arrow_forwardThe limit lim (h→0) cos(h)−1/h represents f′(a) for some function f and some number a. Find f(x) and ?a.arrow_forwardThe following statement is incorrect: "If f has a horizontal asymptote y = L at ∞ , then the graph off approaches the line y = L as x gets greater and greater, but never touches it." , determine limx➔∞ f(x) and indicate how f demonstrates that the statement is incorrect. f (X) = Sin X /Xarrow_forward
