Concept explainers
To create: a table,estimate the limit and graph the function
Answer to Problem 11E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
To format the function into a table, press “
To set the input numbers for
Then, press"
Now, input the values shown in the table on the right to get the answer.
1.9 | 1.99 | 1.999 | 2.001 | 2.01 | 2.1 | |
-3.9 | -3.99 | -3.999 | -4.001 | -4.01 | -4.1 |
Notice how as
This is the limit of the function.
-0.9 | -0.99 | -0.999 | -1.001 | -1.01 | -1.1 | |
-1.9 | -1.99 | -1.999 | -2.001 | -2.01 | -2.1 |
Now, graph the function on the graphing utility to confirm your answer.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of the limit is
