limits and continuity see attachment

show pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can either use l'hopital for the first one, as suggested by the second problem, or you can factor the denominator as \[(2x+3)(x-1)=(2x+3)(\sqrt{x}-1)(\sqrt{x}+1)\] and then cancel a factor with the numerator

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i cannot use l hospital

OpenStudy (aravindg):

show pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then use what i wrote above. you get \[\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{2x-3}{(2x+3)(\sqrt{x}+1)}\] replace x by 1 to get your answer

OpenStudy (aravindg):

what about scind one??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

..............

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i am thinking about how to do the without l'hopital. with l'hopital you get \[\lim_{x\rightarrow 3} \frac{f'(x)\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{f(x)}}\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

use the fact that \[f'(a)=\lim_{x\to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

factor the top and bottom

OpenStudy (aravindg):

soooooooooo

OpenStudy (aravindg):

..........

OpenStudy (zarkon):

I gave you a hint...use it

OpenStudy (aravindg):

k

OpenStudy (aravindg):

next one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aravind use rationalization of numerator

OpenStudy (aravindg):

:(

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i see nothing that i could offer that hasnt already been presented.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the lim as x->0 of 1+tan(x) = 1 since there is no restrictions for tan(0) the lim as x->0 of 1+sin(x) = 1 since there is no retrictions to sin(0) and it doesnt make the denom go bad

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the only thing to check would be csc(x)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

which i believe is the flip of sin(0)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1/sin(0) is bad so you would have to account for it i spose

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i see no way that the limit can be defined since it does -inf and +inf from different directions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or am i reading the notation wrong? is that an exponent?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

yes

OpenStudy (zarkon):

the limit is 1, but that is hard to show without using L'Hospital's rule
