- Sketch the graph of a function f which incorporates all the limit & derivative information below: (Be sure to include any asymptotes in your sketch of the graph f) • lim f(x)=0 lim f(x)=−∞ lim f(x)=∞ limf(x)=−∞ lim f(x)=1 • The function values of f, and its first derivative f′(x), and its second derivative, f′′(x), are undefined at x = −2 and at x = 0, and are defined for all other real number values of x. • The first derivative f′(x) is negative on the x-intervals (−∞, −2) and (−2, 0), is positive on the interval (0, 2), is zero at x = 2, and is negative on the interval (2, ∞). • The second derivative f′′(x) is negative on the x-interval (−∞,−2), positive on the interval (−2, −1), has value zero at x = −1, is negative on the intervals (−1, 0) and (0, 3), has value zero at x = 3, and is positive on the interval (3, ∞).arrow_forwardDetermine the domain and range of function. Use various limits to find the asymptotes and the ranges. y = [8 - e^x]/[2 + e^x]arrow_forwardA) If for a function f(x) the first and second derivatives at a point a are zero, is it possible that f(x) has a relative maximum at a? Reason your answer with an example. B) Study the continuity and asymptotic behavior of the function:arrow_forward
- Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number a. (Select all that apply.) f(x) = 1 x + 3 a = −3 lim x→−3 f(x) does not exist. f(−3) and lim x→−3 f(x) are finite, but are not equal. lim x→−3+ f(x) and lim x→−3− f(x) are not finite, and are not equal. f(−3) is undefined. none of the above Sketch the graph of the function.arrow_forward1. Sketch the graph of a function f(x) with the giving limits. I am confused; can you sketch and give a briefly explanation, please? Thank youarrow_forwardSketch a graph of the functiony = x^3e^−xshowing clearly where it is concave up or concave down. Indicate the x-coordinatesof any maxima, minima and points of inflection and find the asymptotic behaviour.Show all your reasoning.arrow_forward
- True or false? if f'(x)>0 for all real x values, then the limit as x goes to infinity of f(x) = infinity. Show a graph to illustrate your answer.arrow_forwardThe function f is defined by the graph represented in the figure below. Find: a) lim f(x) x--> -4 ^+ b) lim f(x) x--> -4^ - c) lim f(x) x--> -4 d) lim f(x) x--> 0 e) lim f(x) x--> 6 f) lim f(x) x--> -2arrow_forwardHow is graph of g(x)=f(kx) related to the graph of f when k=5? The graph of g is a horizontal stretch of the graph of f. The graph of g is a vertical stretch of the graph of f. The graph of g is a horizontal compression of the graph of f. The graph of g is a vertical compression of the graph of f.arrow_forward
- (Question pertaining to indeterminate limits) It is not uncommon for people to write: lim x approaches a f(x) = 0/0 a) Why is this not correct? b) Is 0/0 a number? No. Explain what 0/0 means in terms of the numerator and the denominator.arrow_forwardreate a table of values for the function and use the result to estimate the limit. Use a graphing utility to graph the function to confirm your result. (Round your answers to four decimal places. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) lim x→−3 Root 46 − x-7/x+3 x -3.1 -3.01 -3.001 -2.999 -2.99 -2.9 f(x) lim x→−3 Root 46 − x-7/x+3 ≈arrow_forwardLet f(x) have horizontal asymptote y = 1 and vertical asymptotes x = -3 and x = 7 . Create an equation for f(x) and graph it (label the asymptotes). What is your reasoning for determining your equation?arrow_forward
