Q.1) Find lim ( x  + x 2 − 3x ) and lim ( x  + x 2 − 3x ) , where   denote the greatest integer
x →7 + x →7 −

function.
Q.2) Find lim

Q.3) Use Calculator to show that

 cos(π x) 
lim   =π
 x − (3 / 2) 
x →3/ 2

by creating a table of function values for x close to 3 / 2 from the right left sides.

i. f ( x) = x1/ 5
ii. f ( x) = x 7 / 5
iii. f ( x) = x 3/ 4
