I. Evaluate the following limits (0.5 points each)

√10 − 𝑥 2 − 1 2𝑥 − 5 𝑥
1. lim 3. lim + ( + )
𝑥→3 𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 6 𝑥→−1 3𝑥 2 + 𝑥 −2 𝑥+1

2𝑥 + 7 sin(2𝑥 2 − 8)
2. lim 4. lim
𝑥→−∞ 3𝑥 − √9𝑥 2 −2 𝑥→−2 (𝑥 + 2) cosh(𝑥 +2)

𝑥 2 +6𝑥 + 5 if 𝑥 < −1

II. Given: 𝑓(𝑥) = ⟦3𝑥 − 1⟧ , if − 1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1

{ cos(ln 𝑥) , if 𝑥 > −1

Determine if 𝑓 is continuous or discontinuous at 𝑥 = −1, 0 and 1. If discontinuous, classify the

type of discontinuity as removable, jump essential or infinite essential.

III. Use Intermediate Value Theorem to show that
𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 4 + 3𝑥 − 1

has a root in [ -1, 1]. (3 points)

IV. Suppose that the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥) is given by the figure below. (0.5 points each)
1. Evaluate lim− 𝑓(𝑥).

essential) at 𝑥 = 1.

. Evaluate lim 𝑓(𝑥).
