THE LIMIT OF A FUNCTION SUMMATIVE QUIZ

I. Solve for the limits of the following functions and determine whether the limit exists or not. Show complete
solution. (3 pts each)

1. lim 2 x 2 +5 x−3 (SUBSTITUTE -1 TO THIS EQUATION)

x→−1

1 1
−
2. x 2 (Hint: Simplify) (USE L-HOSPITAL RULE)
lim
x →2 x−2

3. lim
x→ 4 {2xx−1if
2
x< 4
+ 2if x ≥ 4

x−1−2
lim
4. 1 1 (Hint: Simplify)
x→
2 x−
2

5. lim √ x+ 4−2 (Hint: Conjugate)

x →0 x

II. Determine the limits of the following function based from the graph below and determine whether they exist
or not. (1 pt each)

Example:

1. lim ¿
x→ 1+¿ f ( x ) =2 ¿

2. lim ¿
x→ 1−¿f ( x ) =2 ¿

3. lim
x →1
f ( x )=The limit exist

1. lim ¿ 1 6. lim f ( x )=¿ do not exist

x→−2+¿ f ( x ) =¿¿ x →2

2. lim ¿ 1 7. lim ¿2
x→−2−¿f ( x )= ¿ ¿ x→ 3−¿f ( x ) =¿ ¿

3. lim f ( x )=¿ DO NOT EXIST 8. lim ¿0

x→−2 x→ 3+¿ f ( x ) =¿¿

4. lim ¿ 1 9. lim f ( x )=¿ DNE

x→ 2−¿f ( x )=¿ ¿ x →3

5. lim ¿ 3 lim f ( x ) =¿DNE

10. x→−∞
x→ 2+¿ f ( x ) =¿¿
