Calc Limits – Algebraic, Graphical, and Indeterminate

Label all work and answers for what they represent.

#1-3 Use f(x) = −2 ¿ ¿ . The graph of f is provided:

On the graph there is a hole with coordinates (0, ─20).

1. Use the graph of f provided to evaluate the following.

( a ) lim f (x ) ( b ) f ( 0 )
x →0

Answer Answer

2. Complete the table below for f(x) around x=0; round the values to five decimal places.

x ─0.1 ─0.01 ─0.001 0 0.001 0.01 0.1

f(x)

Based on the trend of the values in the table, what value does the limit appears to approach?

lim f (x )≈ ¿
x →0

3. Now, evaluate the limit algebraically. Show supporting algebra work that leads to your answer.
Use the reverse side of this paper to put your supporting algebra work. Be neat.

lim f ( x )=¿ ¿
x →0

#4-5 Evaluate each limit.

x 3−2 x 2−9 x+ 17
4. lim ⁡ =¿ ¿
x →(−1) x−2

x 3−2 x 2−9 x +17

5. lim ⁡ =¿ ¿
x→ 2 x−2
