1. lim+ f (x) = lim+ x− =−
x→1 x→1 2 2
The correct alternative is (2).

2. lim f (x) = lim sin x, which does not exist.

x→−∞ x→−∞

The correct alternative is (1).

3. Let 
kx + k 2 x2 if x ≥ 1
g (x) =
2k 2 x if x < 1
For g to be continuous at c :

(1) g (c) must exist.

(2) lim g (x) must exist
x→c

(3) lim g (x) = g (c) .

x→c

lim g (x) = k + k 2 and lim− g (x) = 2k 2 , thus for k = 1 and for k = 0, g is continuous.
x→1+ x→1
The correct alternative is (4).
