HPC 11.3 More on Limits
Limits are essential concepts in the development of calculus.

1. x 2 + 7x + 12 undefined
For lim : ->
x→−3 x2 − 9
a) explain why you cannot use substitution to find the limit

- =-
b) find the limit algebraically if it exist

4. Use the given graph to find the limits or to explain why the limits do not exist:
a) lim− f ( x )
x→2

b) lim+ f ( x )
x→2

c) lim f ( x )
x→2

5. ⎧2 − x if x < 2
⎪
For the given piecewise-defined function f ( x ) = ⎨1 if x = 2
⎪ 2
⎩ x − 4 if x > 2
a) draw the graph of f
b) determine lim+ f ( x ) and lim− f ( x )
x→2 x→2

c) Does lim f ( x ) exist? If it does, give its value. If it does not exist, give an explanation
x→2

6. Find the value of lim+ int ( x )

x→2
7. cos x cos x
Find the lim and lim
x→∞ 1+ x x→−∞ 1+ x

8. Find the lim ( −e x sin x ) and lim ( −e x sin x )

x→∞ x→−∞

Use graphs and tables to find lim− and identify any vertical asymptotes
x→3 x−3

10. tan x
Determine lim and support your answer graphically
