LIMITS

NOTE: if f is either exponential,

logarithmic or trigonometric, and if c is a
real number which is in the domain of f,
then

This property is also shared by

polynomials and rational functions.

exist. To find the actual value, one should find an
expression equivalent to the original. This is commonly
done by factoring or by rationalizing. Hopefully, the
expression that will emerge after factoring or
rationalizing will have a computable limit.
Some Special Limits
Remark 2: We note here that the three limits
Problem Set No. 1
Continuity at a Point
Suppose we are not given the graph of a
function but just the function itself. How
do we determine if the function is
continuous at a given number?
LIMITS AND CONTINUITY ON AN INTERVAL
Using the given graph, determine if the function
f is continuous on the following intervals:
Determine using the given graph if the function
f is continuous on the following intervals:
Determine the largest interval over which
the function is continuous.
