Document Summary

Suppose f is defined on an interval containing c if f(x) is as close to l as we like, whenever x is sufficiently close to c (but x =/= c) The limit x -> c f(x) = l f(h) = [(3+h)2 9] / (h) what is limit h -> 0 f(h) h =-0. 1 f(h)=5. 9 h=-0. 01 f(h)=5. 99 h=-0. 001 f(h)=5. 99 h=0. 001 f(h)=6. 001 h=0. 01 f(h)6. 01 h=0. 1 f(h)=6. 1. [(3+h)2 9] / (h) = (9 + 6h + h2 9) / (h) (6h + h2) / h = 6+h. Plugging in using calculator doesn"t always work . No, for small positive f(x) = 1, which is not close to 0. F(x) does not exist since it continues to infinity (not to scale) Jumps: if approaching c from different direction f(x) yields different values. Grows large: as x ->c , f(x) gets larger and larger close to infinity (vertical asymptote ) Oscillation: if f(x) oscillates faster and faster as x gets closer to c.
