Limits Courtney Muller

Please complete the following problems covering the Epsilon/Delta limit definition, continuous functions, and Squeeze Theorem. The solutions to these problems are posted online under XYZ. 1.) Find the that corresponds to e=.01 using lim 2x2 = 8
x 2

2.) Find the that corresponds to e=.01 using lim x2 + 3x = 4

x 1

3.) By nding the that corresponds to an arbitrary verify lim 5x + 3 = 8

x 1

required by the denition of limit,

4.) Is the function f (x) continuous? If not, nd the values of x for which f (x) is discontinuous and classify the type of discontinuity. 1 + sin2 (x)

f (x) =

cos2 (x)

5.) Is the function f (x) continuous? If not, nd the values of x for which f (x) is discontinuous and what type of discontinuities are they? f (x) = (x + 1)2 (x2 1)

6.) Find the value of c which makes the function f (x) continuous. 2x + c x2 + 4 for x < 1 for x > 1

f (x) =

7.)Find the value of c which makes the function f (x) continuous. e2x+c x+3 for x > 0 for x < 0

f (x) =

Solve the following limits using the Squeeze Theorem. 8.) lim x2 cos(2x)
x 0

9.) lim

x x

3x + 7 x

10.) lim

x + ex
