- a. What is the domain of f? Express your answer in interval notation. f(x)= 1 - x^4 / x^2 - 1 b. Use a sequence of values of x near a=1 to estimate the value of limx→1 f(x). The sequence should include values such as 1.01, 1.001, etc. c. Use algebra to simplify the expression 1 - x^4 / x^2 - 1 d. True or false: f(1)=-2 e. Based on all of your work above, construct an accurate, labeled graph of y=f(x) on the interval [0,2].arrow_forwardA. Does f(1) exist B. Does lim x->1 f(x) exist C. Does lim x->1 f(x) equal f(1) D.

- Definition 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_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)=e^1.9x−e^3.1x/x. We want to find the limit limx→0 e^1.9x−e^3.1x/x.Start 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 e^1.9x−e^3.1x/x=arrow_forward[3 - x x 2 let fx)=+1 a) Find lim fx) and lim f) X-2 X-2+ exist? why?

- lim x → 9− f(x) = 2 and lim x → 9+ f(x) = 4. As x approaches 9 from the right, f(x) approaches 2. As x approaches 9 from the left, f(x) approaches 4. As x approaches 9 from the left, f(x) approaches 2. As x approaches 9 from the right, f(x) approaches 4. As x approaches 9, f(x) approaches 4, but f(9) = 2. As x approaches 9, f(x) approaches 2, but f(9) = 4. In this situation is it possible that lim x → 9 f(x) exists? Explain. Yes, f(x) could have a hole at (9, 2) and be defined such that f(9) = 4. Yes, f(x) could have a hole at (9, 4) and be defined such that f(9) = 2. Yes, if f(x) has a vertical asymptote at x = 9, it can be defined such that lim x→9− f(x) = 2, lim x→9+ f(x) = 4, and lim x→9 f(x) exists. No, lim x→9 f(x) cannot exist if lim x→9− f(x) ≠ lim x→9+ f(x).arrow_forwardThe limit represents f '(c) for a function f(x) and a number c.

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.
