    This document is an assignment for a calculus course consisting of 4 questions: 1) Two sequences are given to estimate the limit as x approaches 0 of an expression involving e^x - 1 - x divided by x^2. 2) The student is asked if the limit as x approaches 2 of the absolute value of x - 2 exists and to justify their answer in one line. 3) The student is asked to find the limit as x approaches 1 of -6x + 5 and to justify their answer without using sequences. 4) The student is asked about the continuity and differentiability at x = 0 of a piecewise defined function and to justify their answers in one line.

    Calculus for the Life Science I MAT1330A , MAT1330B, MAT1330E Assignment 3

    Due date: Oct. 7 Instructor (circle one): DGD (circle one): 1 Jing Li , 2 , , 3 Catalin Rada , 4 , Frithjof Lutscher

    Student Name (printed): Student ID Number: Question 1 To estimate the limit lim f (x), where f (x) = x0 values for x approaching 0. ex 1 x , one may use sequences of numerical x2

    a) Give two sequences to estimate the limit. A few terms for each sequence is enough. xn f (xn ) xn f (xn )

    and

    b) We may conclude that lim f (x) =


    x0

    Question 2 |x 2| exist ? Answer : x2 x 2 Justify your answer in one line. Does the limit lim

    . Question 3 x1 ? Answer : 6x + 5 Justify your answer without using sequences of numerical values for x. What is the value of the limit lim
    x1

    x2

    . Question 4 We consider the function f (x) = 0 x2 if x Q if x Q Answer :

    a) Is the function f continuous at x = 0 ? Justify your answer in one line.

    b) Does the derivative of f exist at x = 0 ? Answer : Justify your answer in one line.

    . Note : Try to visualize the graph of f in your mind. Is it a nice continuous curve ?
