1 x 2 −36
a)
lim ( )(
x →6 x−6 5 )
x2
b)
lim
x →−∞ (√ )
x 4 −5

QUESTION 2 [CO2-LO3] (10 marks)

Given

2
f (x )=¿{3x+1 ; x<−1¿{x −1;−1≤x≤2¿ ¿ ¿
By using WolframAlpha, sketch the graph of f(x). Hence determine whether f(x) is continuous at x= -1.

QUESTION 3[CO2-LO3] (10 marks)

Differentiate the following function with respect to x. (i) using WolframAlpha (ii) manually
a) f (x )=e 2 x tan( x +3 )
3
ln ( x+ 2)
f (x )=
b) x +2
