- The 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_forwardlim xto1 of the function e(2^x) /(x^2) .. use L'Hoptial's Rulearrow_forwardlimit of (x + 5) as x approaches to 3 po yung given if ever blurred. ty!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_forwardConsider 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_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_forward

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_forwardThe continuous extension of (sin x)x [0, Pi]a) Graph f(x)= (sinx)x on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ Pi.

- Planck’s Law says that the energy emitted by a black body is given by ((1/x5)/ (e(1/x) − 1)) where x is the wavelength. Use L’Hoptial’s Rule to compute the energy as the wavelength goes to 0. You may assume that this limit is indeterminate, so that L’Hopital’s Rule applies.arrow_forwardQ2)valuate the limit: Limit x approach to 2 [sin(pi.x)]/[x^2-x-2]arrow_forwardlimit as x approaches infinity of (e^x + e^-x)/(e^x - e^-x)arrow_forward
