- lim xto1 of the function e(2^x) /(x^2) .. use L'Hoptial's Rulearrow_forwardGuess the value of the limit (if it exists) by evaluating the function at the given numbers. (It is suggested that you report answers accurate to at least six decimal places.) Let f(x)= cos(9x)−cos(10x)/x2 We want to find the limit limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(10x)/x2Start by calculating the values of the function for the inputs listed in this table. x x f(x)f(x) 0.2 0.1 0.05 0.01 0.001 0.0001 0.00001 Based on the values in this table, it appears limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(10x)/x2=?arrow_forwardThe limit lim x-> 0 e^x-1/x equals a derivative f' (c), for some function f(x) and some real number c. (i) find f(x) and c. (ii) Use the derivative of the function f(x) to evaluate the limit. (iii) Find an equaiton of the tangent line to y = f(x) at x = c, for the value of c you found in (i).arrow_forward
- Guess the value of the limit (if it exists) by evaluating the function at the given numbers. (It is suggested that you report answers accurate to at least six decimal places.) Let f(x)=cos(9x)-cos(5x)/x2 We want to find the limit limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(5x)/x2Start by calculating the values of the function for the inputs listed in this table. x x f(x)f(x) 0.2 0.1 0.05 0.01 0.001 0.0001 0.00001 Based on the values in this table, it appears limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(5x)/ x2arrow_forwardTrue or False: If limit as xà0 of f(x) equals zero then f(0)=0. If false provide an illustrative example to support your conclusion.arrow_forwardQ2)valuate the limit: Limit x approach to 2 [sin(pi.x)]/[x^2-x-2]arrow_forward
- The continuous extension of (sin x)^x [0,π] a) Graph f(x)= (sin x)^x on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ π. What value would you assign to f(x) to make it continuous at x = 0? b) Verify your conclusion in part (a) by finding limx→0+ f(x) with L’Hôpital’s Rule. c) Returning to the graph, estimate the maximum value of f(x) on [0, π].About where is max f(x) taken on? d) Sharpen your estimate in part (c) by graphing ƒ in the same window to see where its graph crosses the x-axis. To simplify your work, you might want to delete the exponential factor from the expression for f' and graph just the factor that has a zero.arrow_forwardGuess the value of the limit (if it exists) by evaluating the function at the given numbers. (It is suggested that you report answers accurate to at least six decimal places.) Let f(x)=cos(9x)−cos(2x)/x^2 We want to find the limit limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(2x)/x^2 Start by calculating the values of the function for the inputs listed in this table. x f(x) 0.2 0.1 0.05 0.01 0.001 0.0001 0.00001 Based on the values in this table, it appears limx→0 cos(9x)−cos(2x)/x^2=arrow_forwardFor the function f(x) = x 4 ln x (a) Show a careful calculation explaining why limx→0+ f(x) = 0 ( asserting that (0)(−∞) = 0 is not careful enough) (b) Calculate a formula for f 0 (x), the derivative of f. (c) Find the critical number(s) for the function f. (d) Determine the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the interval 1 2 ≤ x ≤ 1, and the exact x values at which these maximum & minimum values occur.arrow_forward
