Review Questions:
Acknowledgment: These questions are from Maria Terrrell’s
GoodQuestions project at Cornell University.
Review Questions:
1. True or False. As x increases to 100, f (x) = 1/x gets closer and

closer to 0, so the limit as x goes to 100 of f (x) is 0. Be prepared
to justify your answer.
(A) True (B) False (C) I’m confused
Review Questions:

Answer: B False.
Review Questions:

Answer: B False.
This is WRONG:
“f (x) gets closer to L as x → a, and therefore lim f (x) = L.”

x→a
Review Questions 2:
2. You’re trying to guess lim f (x). You plug in
x→0
x = 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, . . .
and get f (x) = 0 for all these values:
f (0.1) = 0, f (0.01) = 0, f (0.001) = 0, ....
In fact, you’re told that for all n = 1, 2, . . . , f (1/10n ) = 0.
True or False: Since the sequence 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, . . . goes to 0,

we know lim f (x) = 0.
x→0
(A) True (B) False (C) Um. . .
