    This document contains a student's answers to two questions on a calculus quiz. For question 1, the student correctly evaluates the limit as x approaches -3 of the expression (x+3)/(x^2 + x - 6) and determines the limit is -1/5. For question 2, the student defines a piecewise function f(x), determines the left and right-hand limits at x=0, and concludes that since the limits do not match, the function f(x) is discontinuous at x=0.

    NAME: STUDENT #:

    Quiz 2 Calculus I Fall 2019

    Q1. [5 POINTS ] Evaluate


    x+3
    lim .
    x→−3 x2 + x − 6

    x+3 x+3 1 1 1
    lim = lim = lim = =−
    x→−3 x2 + x − 6 x→−3 (x + 3)(x − 2) x→−3 x − 2 −3 − 2 5

    Q2. [5 POINTS ] Define the function f (x) as follows:


    (
    x + 2 if x < 0
    f (x) =
    2x2 if x ≥ 0.
    Is f continuous at x = 0 ? Justify your answer.
    lim f (x) = lim+ 2x2 = 2 · 0 = 0
    x→0+ x→0

    lim f (x) = lim− (x + 2) = 0 + 2 = 2


    x→0− x→0

    Since lim+ f (x) 6= lim− f (x), lim f (x) does not exist.
    x→0 x→0 x→0

    Therefore, f is discontinuous at x = 0.
