- Find the slope of the graph of the function g(x) = (5x)/(x-2) at (3,15) using the definition of a limit.arrow_forward4. Create a table of values for the function and use the result to estimate the limit.arrow_forwardWhen using the definition of limit to prove that L is the limit of f(x) as x approaches c, you find the largest satisfactory value of . Why would any smaller positive value of also work?arrow_forward
- Can f(x) approach a limit as x ➔ c if f(c) is undefined? If so, give an example.arrow_forwardIn this example, we can combine the three simple results following the limit definition with the results in Theorem 1 to calculate the limits. We simply substitute the x- and y-values of the point being approached into the functional expression to find the limiting value.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 15 and 16, use the formal definition of limit to prove that the function has a continuous extension to the given value of x.arrow_forward
