TEST 1 – MODIFIED TRUE OF FALSE (1 POINT EACH)
Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is true and write FALSE if the statement is
false then change the bolded word or phrase to its correct term.
1. The limit of a function as it approaches x=c is necessarily equal to its value
at c . Thus, the lim
x →c
f (x ) can assume a value different from f ( c ) .
2. The limit of a function as x → c exists if: f ( c ) is defined, f approaches the
same value as x moves closer to c from both direction.
3. For all rational functions f , the value of lim f (x ) is equal to f ( x). If f (c )
x →c

exists, then lim f (x )=f ( c ) .

x →c
4. When direct substitution of the constant c gives an indeterminate number of
0
the form , the limit can be evaluated by first simplifying the rational function using
0
direct substitution.
5. Let the function f be defined on the open interval (x , c) such that c > x , If f
approaches the number L as x approaches c within ( x ,c ) , then L is called the left-
hand limit of f at c .
6. Let the function f be defined on the open interval (c , x) such that c < x , If f
approaches the number M as x approaches c within ( c , x ) , then M is called the right-
hand limit of f at c .
7. If the value of f ( x) arbitrarily increases positively for all x sufficiently close to
c from both sides, without letting x equal to c , then lim f ( x )=∞ .
x →c
8. If the value of f ( x) arbitrarily increases negatively for all x sufficiently close
to c from both sides, without letting x equal to c , then lim f ( x )=−∞ .
x →c
9. Vertical Asymptotes are vertical lines that a curve approaches as it goes to
infinity.
10. Exponential function is a function that can be written in the form y=b x ,
where b> 0and b ≠ 1.
11. Any rational function is continuous at any real number that makes the
denominator equal to zero.
12. Derivatives of a function f with respect to x is the function that
approximates the slope of the line tangent to f at any point on its graph. Thus,
f ( x+ h )−f (x)
provided that this limit exist. m=f ' ( x )=lim
h →0 h
' 3 2
13. The f ( x ) of the f ( x )=(2 x + x ) is ¿.
x 2−4
14. The lim is undefined.
x→−2 x +2
 15. Calculus is a numerical language that creates mathematical models to solve
problems dealing with objects or things in motion.

4. lim [ f ( x ) ∙ g ( x ) ] =lim f ( x ) ∙ lim g (x)

6. lim [ f ( x )−g ( x ) ] =lim f ( x )−lim g(x )

TEST 3 – EVALUATING CONTINUITY OF A FUNCTION (2 POINTS EACH)
Directions: Use the three conditions of continuity to check if each given function is
continuous at the given value of x. Write continuous if the function is continuous at
x=c otherwise write discontinuous.
