- How do you prove c), i.e. the third bullet point, using lim(x ->a) [ f(x) - f(a) ] / [ x -a ] with the domain (-inf, 1)? Is a = 1?arrow_forwardEvaluate the limit. lim e2/(x-3)x →3-arrow_forwardIs there a value of a for which limx1 3x^2+ax+a+3/x^2+x-2 exists? Enter the value of a if such a exist otherwise enter 0.arrow_forward
- Find the constant c so that the limit limx->3 (x2+x+c)/(x2-5x+6) exists.arrow_forwardLet F(x) = (x2 + 3x + 2)/(2 - | x | ). Make tables of values of F at values of x that approach c = -2 from above and below. Then estimate limx→ -2 F(x).arrow_forward1. Using tables of values, estimate lim 3x x→2 a. 3 b. 6 c. 2 d. 5 2. Using tables of values, estimate lim (x2+4x−3) x→1 a. 1 b. 3 c. 0 d. 2 3. Using tables of values, estimate lim (x3−2x2−3) and lim (x3−2x2−3) x→2- x→2+ a. -19 and -3, respectively b. -3 and -19, respectively c. both equal to -3 d. both equal to -19arrow_forward
- suppose f,g an d h are functions which g(x)<=f(x) <=h(x) ,for all x in an open interval containing a , except possibly at a. if lim g(x) ,x approaches to a does not exist or lim h(x) ,x approaches to a does not exist , will the lim f(x) ,x approaches to a do or does not exist ?arrow_forwardConsider g(x)=−7x3+7x2+9. a) limx→0−g(x)= b)limx→−1−g(x)= c)On what interval(s) is g(x) continuous?arrow_forwardDetermine whether the following statement is true or false. If this statement is true, explain why. If this statement is false, provide a counterexample. If lim n→∞a_n = π, then a_n is divergent.arrow_forward
