Q: Evaluate the following limit: $$\lim\limits_{x \to 36} \frac{36-x}{6-\sqrt{x}}$$

$$\lim\limits_{x \to 36} \frac{36-x}{6-\sqrt{x}} = 12$$

Q: Evaluate the following limit: $$\lim\limits_{x \to 2} \frac{x^3$ - 2x^2$}{x-2}$$

$$\lim\limits_{x \to 2} \frac{x^2$(x-2)}{x-2} = \lim\limits_{x \to 2} x^2$ = 4$$

Q: Given the piecewise function $$f(x) = \begin{cases} -7 & -8 \leq x \u003c -3 \\ 2 - x^2$ & -3 \leq x \u003c 1 \\ -3x + 1 & x \geq 1 \end{cases}$$, find $$\lim\limits_{x \to -3} f(x).$$

$$\lim\limits_{x \to -3^-} f(x) = -7$$, $$\lim\limits_{x \to -3^+} f(x) = 2 - (-3)^2$ = -7$$, \text{so the limit exists and is } -7$

Question 1

Evaluate the following limit: $$\lim\limits_{x 	o -2} \frac{x+2}{x^2$ + 7x + 10}$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{0}{(-2)^2$ + 7(-2) + 10} = \frac{0}{4 - 14 + 10} = \frac{0}{0} ($$undefined)

Question 3

Question 4

Evaluate the following limit: $$\lim\limits_{x 	o 2} \frac{x^3$ - 2x^2$}{x-2}$$

Accepted Answer

$$\lim\limits_{x 	o 2} \frac{x^2$(x-2)}{x-2} = \lim\limits_{x 	o 2} x^2$ = 4$$

Question 5

Given the piecewise function $$f(x) = \begin{cases} -7 & -8 \leq x \u003c -3 \ 2 - x^2$ & -3 \leq x \u003c 1 \ -3x + 1 & x \geq 1 \end{cases}$$, find $$\lim\limits_{x 	o -3} f(x).$$

Accepted Answer

$$\lim\limits_{x 	o -3^-} f(x) = -7$$, $$\lim\limits_{x 	o -3^+} f(x) = 2 - (-3)^2$ = -7$$, 	ext{so the limit exists and is } -7$
