- Consider the function g(x) = cos(1/x). We will investigate the limit behavior at x = 0. c) If n is an arbitrary positive integer, find points x1 and x2 (int terms of n) in the interval(-1/n, 1/n( such that g(x2) = 1 and g(x2) = -1. d) Explain (in a brief paragraph) why (c) implies that g does not have a limit at x = 0. e) Where is g continuous? Justify your answer. You may use facts from the textbook in Section 2.2 - 2.5.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_forwardlimit of (x + 5) as x approaches to 3 po yung given if ever blurred. ty!arrow_forward
- For the limit use the formal definition of a limit to find the value delta that corresponds to epsilon = 0.1. Round your answer to three decimal places, and include a rough sketch to support your solution.arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardlooking at the graph of f(x) find the limit as x approaches 0- of f(x)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(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_forwardh(x) = { tan^-1 (x^2+2x+1), if x is less than or equal to -1 [[x + 1]], if -1 < x < 1 (note: [[x + 1]] is a greatest integer function) coth^-1 (x), if x is greater than or equal to 1 Determine if h is continuous at x = −1, 0, 1. If not, identify if it is removable, jump essential, or infinite essential. --- hi tutor, if you're going to use acronyms or terms on the solution or explanation please indicate the expanded acronym so I can fully understand :) thank uarrow_forwardGuess the value of the limit (if it exists) by evaluating the function at the given numbers.

- using the definition of continuity and the properties of limits to show that the function is continuous at the given number a. f(x)= 3x2+(x+2)5, a= -1 can you please explain this problem with workarrow_forward5) a function with a domain of (-2, infinity): Consider: Is the function continuous at x=1? If not, what type of discontinuity does the function have at x=1?arrow_forwardChoose the correct answer If the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit at point x = c of a function f are the same, then ... f differentiable at point c the limit of f at x=c is exist Continuous at x = c f(c) is existarrow_forward
