Document Summary

Limits: lim x a closer to a? f (x) =? asks what unique, nite value does the function f (x) approach as the value of x gets closer and. If f (x) does not approach a unique, nite value, then we say the limit does not exist. , , 0 , etc. = + check sign of each factor: unique nite number (i. e. f (a) ) ii) 16 4 x x x + 4 (16 x)(4 + x) 8: also note that left/right handed limits may be determined and: f (x) = l lim x a+ lim x a f (x) = lim x a f (x) = l. A function f (x) is continuous at x = a if lim x a f (x) exists and is equal to f (a). X2 2x 8 (cid:0)81x2(cid:1)1/x x 4. Determine the continuity of f (x) at x = 4. lim x 4 f (x) = lim x 4 .

4. (21 pts) (I) (6 pts) Determine the value of a constant b for which the function g is continuous at 0. Show your work. Justify your answer! 2 x +b if x<0, X-5 g(x) = if x 20, x#4. We have to show that lim g (x) = g (0). g(0) = 0 +18 = -1; lim X0* 0 + 16 ) = lim x + 16 **0* x2 - 160 - 16- Since lim g (x) has to exist (in order for g to be continuous at x = 0), it has to be true that x-0- x0+ X- 0 lim g(x) - lim g(x) = lim g(x). Therefore, -1, and , so b = 5. so, if b = 5, lim g (x) = g(0), and therefore, g is continuous at x = 0. (II) (4 pts) Evaluate the limit.

If so, write the equation (or equations) of all horizontal asymptotes. y = 2, by part (II) (a) y = 0, by part (II) (b) (IV) (7 pts) Determine whether g has any vertical asymptotes. If so, write the equation (or equations) of all vertical asymptotes. Show your work. Justify your answer! 5 + 16 There is no vertical asymptote at x = 5, because lim g(x) = x+5 52-16' -8 + b (x) = there is no vertical asymptote at x = -4, because lim X -4 - 4 - 5 But, lim g(x) = lim + 16 x+4+ x2 - 16 lim_ (x + 16) -20 x+4+ (x - 4) 60 (x + 4) +8 (or the numerator goes to 20, and the denominator is positive and goes to o, as x + 4*) = +00 So, the function g has only one vertical asymptote, x = 4.

4. (16 pts) MULTIPLE CHOICE! CIRCLE THE CORRECT ANSWER IN EACH PART. (I) ( 4 pts) Complete the statement of the Intermediate Value Theorem: Suppose f is continuous on the interval [a, b] and L is a number between f (a) and f (b). Then there is at least one number c in (a, b) such that (a) C = L; (b) f(c) = 0; (c) f(c) = L; (a) f' (c) = L; (e) C = 0; (f) f (a) < c < f (b); (g) NONE OF THE PREVIOUS ANSWERS.
