CHAPTER 2 LIMITS AND CONTINUITY
2.1 RATES OF CHANGE AND LIMITS
1. (a) Does not exist. As x approaches 1 from the right, g(x) approaches 0. As x approaches 1 from the left, g(x)
approaches 1. There is no single number L that all the values g(x) get arbitrarily close to as x
Ä 1.
(b) 1
(c) 0
2. (a) 0

(c) Does not exist. As t approaches 0 from the left, f(t) approaches 1. As t approaches 0 from the right, f(t)
�
approaches 1. There is no single number L that f(t) gets arbitrarily close to as t
0.

the function values get arbitrarily close to as x

6. As x approaches 1 from the left, the values of

from the right, the values become increasingly large and positive. There is no one number L that all the
function values get arbitrarily close to as x
1, so lim
does not exist.

7. Nothing can be said about f(x) because the existence of a limit as x
Ä x does not depend on how the function
!
is defined at x . In order for a limit to exist, f(x) must be arbitrarily close to a single real number L when
!
x is close enough to x . That is, the existence of a limit depends on the values of f(x) for x
x , not on the
!
!
near
definition of f(x) at x itself.
!
8. Nothing can be said. In order for lim f(x) to exist, f(x) must close to a single value for x near 0 regardless of
x
Ä 0
the value f(0) itself.
9. No, the definition does not require that f be defined at x
œ 1 in order for a limiting value to exist there. If f(1)
is defined, it can be any real number, so we can conclude nothing about f(1) from lim f(x)
5.
x
Ä 1
œ
10. No, because the existence of a limit depends on the values of f(x) when x is near 1, not on f(1) itself. If
lim f(x) exists, its value may be some number other than f(1)
5. We can conclude nothing about lim f(x),

whether it exists or what its value is if it does exist, from knowing the value of f(1) alone.

41-46. Example CAS commands:
:
Maple
f := x -> (x^4
16)/(x
2);
�
�
x0 := 2;
plot( f(x), x
x0-1..x0+1, color
black,
œ
œ
title
œ "Section 2.1, #41(a)" );
limit( f(x), x
œ x0 );
In Exercise 43, note that the standard cube root, x^(1/3), is not defined for x<0 in many CASs. This can be
overcome in Maple by entering the function as f := x -> (surd(x+1, 3)
� 1)/x.
: (assigned function and values for x0 and h may vary)
