Problem 6. What is lim | |?
x→0 x
Problem 7. True or False: The limit of a function as x approaches a number a is the same
as f(a).

Problem 8. True or False: The limit of a function as x approaches a number a may exist
even if the function is undefined at a.

Problem 9. True or False: If f(a) is undefined, then the limit of f as x approaches a does
not exist.

Problem 10. True or False: If f(x) is undefined when x < a, then the limit of f as x
approaches a does not exist.
