MATH 181A Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Asymptote, Intermediate Value Theorem
Document Summary
Problems marked with an asterisk (*) are particularly challenging and should be given careful consideration: consider the following graph of f . 3x (cid:5) 1 ax (cid:5) b x 2. Sample exam: find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes for f (cid:16)x(cid:17) (cid:7)(cid:98)a(cid:19)1 (cid:5) x(cid:19)1(cid:99)(cid:19)1. Classify the following statements as (a) always true (b) never true, or (c) true in some cases, false in others. Justify your answers. (a) f (cid:16)0(cid:17) (cid:7) 0 (b) for some x with (cid:19)1 (cid:110) x (cid:110) 1, f (cid:16)x(cid:17) (cid:7) 0. 2x 2 (a) let l (cid:7) lim x(cid:26)0 f (cid:16)x(cid:17). 138 lim x(cid:26)(cid:19)1 f (cid:16)x(cid:17) (cid:7) 1 using the - de nition: let f be the function whose graph is given below. 3 x (a) sketch a plausible graph of f (cid:41). _2 (b) sketch a plausible graph of a function f such that f(cid:41) (cid:7) f and f (cid:16)0(cid:17) (cid:7) 1.
