(a)
To graph: The functionand explain whether the limits can be reached or not.
(a)
Answer to Problem 77E
Here,
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
Here, graph the functions from exercise 4 and 5. The limit from exercise 4 can be reached, since the function is just a polynomial function. The limit from exercise 5 cannot be reached, since the function causes a division by 0 when

from exercise 5:
Conclusion:
Hence,

Answer to Problem 77E
Here,
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Here, graph both functions again the decimal setting and zooming in more closely on the values to which the limits are being taken. Now, see that while the limit from exercise 4 is reachable and the function is continuous around this limit, the one from exercise 5 is unreachable, and the function has a gap at that value.
