1. Limits and Continuity

Use the ratio test to determine whether the series $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{\left(n\right)!}{n^n}$ converges or diverges.

Given the graph of a function $f$, find a number $\epsilon >0$ such that if $|x-1|<\epsilon$, then $\left|f\right(x)-1|<0.2$.

Consider the function $f\left(x\right)=\{\begin{array}{cc}{x}^2& \text{if}x<2\\ 5& \text{if}x=2\\ x+2& \text{if}x>2\end{array}$. Determine if $f\left(x\right)$ has any points of discontinuity, and explain your reasoning.

Domains and Asymptotes
