functions:
1
(1) f (x) =
log(|x| − 1)
r
log |x + 1|
(2) f (x) =
5−x
(3) f (x) = log cos x

Problem 2

(1) lim 4x − 1 = 7
x→2
√
(2) lim x + 1 = 2
x→3
(3) lim x2 + 2 = 3
x→−1
1
(4) lim = −∞
x→0− x
1
(5) lim p = +∞
x→0 |x|
(6) lim x2 = +∞
x→+∞

Problem 3

/Q
(2) lim sin x
x→+∞
(3) lim f
x→0+
n1 o
where f : A → R, with A = n ∈ N − {0}
( n
