- (Right and Left Limits). Introductory calculus coursestypically refer to the right-hand limit of a function as the limit obtained by“letting x approach a from the right-hand side.” (a) Give a proper definition in the style of Definition 4.2.1 ((Functional Limit).for the right-hand and left-hand limit statements: limx→a+f(x) = L and limx→a−f(x) = M. (b) Prove that limx→a f(x) = L if and only if both the right and left-handlimits equal L.arrow_forward1. Consider the function f(x)= {x+2, x>0 -x-6,x<0. Use the table of values to find the limit of the following: a. lim f(x) x→0+= x 0.0001 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 f(x) b. lim f(x) x→0-= x -1.0 -0.1 -0.01 -0.001 -0.0001 f(x) c. Does the limit f(x) x→0 exist? If yes, give its value. If not, why?arrow_forwardDefinition of infinite limit: Let X⊆ R, f: X -> R and a∈ X'. If for every M>0 there exists delta > 0 such that |f(x)| > M whenever x∈X and 0< |x-a| < delta then we say that the limit as x approaches a of f(x) is ∞ which is denoted as lim {x-> a} f(x) = ∞. Suppose a∈R, ∈>0, and f,g : N*(a,∈) ->R. If lim {x-> a} f(x) = L>0 and lim {x-> a} g(x)= ∞, prove lim {x-> a} (fg)(x)=∞.arrow_forward
- Using Relating Sequences to Functions, prove that if g : ℝ → [1, ∞) is a function so that limx → c g(x) = L, then limx → c 1/g(x) = 1/L.arrow_forwardLet E ⊂ R, c a limit point of E, and f, a real-valued function with domain E. Let k ∈ R. Provethat if there exists a δ > 0 such that f(x) > k for all x ∈ E with 0 < |x − c| < δ, and if limx→cf(x) exists, thenlimx→cf(x) ≥ k.arrow_forwardEvaluate the limit using L'Hospital's Rule The limit of ((e^x) + 2x-1) / (2x) as x approaches zeroarrow_forward
- A function y=f(x) is uniformly continuous on a set I⊂R if a) in the ε-δ definition of continuity the choice of δ does not depend on ε b) in the ε-δ definition of continuity the choice of δ does not depend on x c) in the ε-δ definition of continuity the choice of δ does not depend on continuity I d) in the ε-δ definition of continuity the choice of δ does not depend on ε e) None of the abovearrow_forwardLimit and Continuity In Exercises , find the limit (if it exists) and discuss the continuity of the function. 14. lim (x, y)→(1, 1) (xy) /(x^2 − y^2 ) 16. lim (x, y)→(0, 0) (x^2 y) /(x^4 + y^2)arrow_forwardLimitsa. Find the limit: lim (x,y)→(1,1) (xy - y - 2x + 2) / (x - 1).b. Show that lim (x,y)→(0,0) ((x - y)^2) / (x^2 + xy + y^2) does not existarrow_forward
