Limits and Continuity??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \] and \[\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} \] of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it should be as a coordinate point so limit approaching infinity: [2,infinity) limit approaching -infinity: (-infinity, -2]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have x=2 and x=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. How bout For the following graph, what is \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}F(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you looking for horizontal or vertical asymptote? I am thinking it is horizontal so lim as x approaches infinity is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whenever you have a graph look at the graph and determine if they want the vertical or horizontal asymptote. So you can get the limit of the function as x approaches infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \frac{ \pi }{ 2 }}f(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure about this one but i think the limit should be 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i forgot the options. 0 -infinity infinity DNE (Does Not Exist)

OpenStudy (phi):

For your very first question (and you really should make each question a new post), it looks like as x-> infinity, the graph is approaching the x-axis. i.e. y->0 the limit is 0

OpenStudy (phi):

For the last question, what is y when x= 0.5 pi ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinity?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 3} f(x) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DNE?

OpenStudy (phi):

It is a one-sided limit (either + infinity or - infinity) but x->3 means if we approach 3 for either side, we get the same limit. Here we do not, so the two-sided limit does not exist.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain why Sin1/x is not continuous at x = 0.

OpenStudy (phi):

when x is small, example x= 0.01 1/x is big 1/0.01 = 100 sin(100 radians) is some number between -1 and +1. As if we make x smaller, 100 gets bigger, and the new sin value will bounce around between -1 and +1. There is no number that the sin(1/x) is approaching as x-> 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Describe a case where f(x) has a limit but is not continuous.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..... it said an error occured please try again later

OpenStudy (phi):

Here is the same thing, but on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riXcZT2ICjA#t=343

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show using limits that f(x)=tan(x) is continuous at x=0
