- Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?arrow_forwardA Troublesome Snowball One winter afternoon, unbeknownst to his mom, a child bring a snowball into the house, lays it on the floor, and then goes to watch T.V. Let W=W(t) be the volume of dirty water that has soaked into the carpet t minutes after the snowball was deposited on the floor. Explain in practical terms what the limiting value of W represents, and tell what has happened physically when this limiting value is reached.arrow_forwardDetermine if the statemment is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. If the function f increases on the interval -,x1 and decreases on the interval x1,, then fx1 is a local minimum value.arrow_forward
- Let ƒ(x) = x^(1/(1-x)). a. Make tables of values of ƒ at values of x that approach c = 1 from above and below. Does ƒ appear to have a limit as x--> 1? If so, what is it? If not, why not? b. Support your conclusions in part (a) by graphing ƒ near c = 1arrow_forwardCalculate the limit algebraically. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) lim h→0 8h2 + h 3h2 + 3h - ________________ If the limit does not exist, say why. (If the limit does exist, so state.) -The limit does not exist because one side diverges to ∞ and the other side diverges to −∞. -The limit does not exist because only one of the left or right limits exists as a finite value. -The limit does not exist because the left and right limits exist but are not the same finite value. -The limit does not exist because it diverges to ∞ or −∞. -The limit does exist and is a finite number.arrow_forwardUse the graph of y = f(x) and the given c-value to find the following, whenever they exist. (If the limit is infinite, enter '∞' or '-∞', as appropriate. If the limit does not otherwise exist, enter DNE.) c = −4 1 2 The x y-coordinate plane is given. A curve with 2 parts is graphed. The first part is linear, enters the window in the third quadrant, goes up and right, crosses the x-axis at x = −7, and ends at the open point (−4.5, 3). The second part is a curve, begins at the closed point (−4.5, −6), goes up and right becoming more steep, crosses the y-axis at y = −2, crosses the x-axis at approximately x = 1, and exits the window in the first quadrant.

- Find the limit (if it exists). (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE. Round your answer to four decimal places.) lim x→7+ ln(x − 7)arrow_forward(d) Determine the average velocity of the rock, Ah, from time t = 1 to t = 2 seconds. Does this value overestimate or underestimate the instantaneous velocity of the rock at time t = 1 second? Explain your reasoning. (e) The instantaneous velocity of the rock at time t = 1 second is given by h'(1), where Ah h' (1) = lim = lim At-0 At. At-0 (h(₁.
