Consider the position function s(t)=−16t^2+128t (Exercise 13). Complete the following table with the appropriate average velocities. Then make a conjecture about the value of the instantaneous velocity at t=1. <IMAGE>

A sequence is an infinite, ordered list of numbers that is often defined by a function. For example, the sequence {2,4,6,8,…} is specified by the function f(n) = 2n, where n=1,2,3,….The limit of such a sequence is lim n→∞ f(n), provided the limit exists. All the limit laws for limits at infinity may be applied to limits of sequences. Find the limit of the following sequences or state that the limit does not exist. 

{2,3/4,4/9,5/16,…}, which is defined by f(n) = (n+1) / n^2, for n=1,2,3,…

Use a graph of f to estimate $\underset{x\to a}{\lim }f\left(x\right)$ or to show that the limit does not exist. Evaluate f(x) near $x=a$ to support your conjecture.

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{1-\cos (2x-2)}{{(x-1)}^2};a=1$

Determine $\(\lim\)_{x\(\rightarrow\]\infty\)}f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))$ and $\(\lim\)_{x\(\rightarrow\)-\(\infty\)}f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))$ for the following functions. Then give the horizontal asymptotes of $f$ (if any).

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{40x^5+x^2}{16x^4-2x}$

The following table gives the position $s\(\left\)(t\(\right\))$ of an object moving along a line at time $t$. Determine the average velocities over the time intervals $\(\left\[\lbrack\)1,1.01\(\right\]\rbrack\)$, $\(\left\[\lbrack\)1,1.001\(\right\]\rbrack\)$, and $\(\left\]\lbrack\)1,1.0001^{}\(\right\).]$. Then make a conjecture about the value of the instantaneous velocity at $t=1$. <IMAGE>

Evaluate each limit and justify your answer. 

lim x→1 (x+5x / x+2)^4

Determine the points on the interval (0, 5) at which the following functions f have discontinuities. At each point of discontinuity, state the conditions in the continuity checklist that are violated. <IMAGE>
