Limits
1. Answer the following questions using the graph of ƒ(x) given below.
(a) Find ƒ(0) (b) Find ƒ(3)
(c) Find (d) Find
lim fx( ) lim fx( )
x5 x0
(e) Find (f) Find
lim fx( ) lim fx( )
x3 x3
(g) List all x-values for which ƒ(x) has a removable discontinuity. Explain what
section(s) of the definition of continuity is (are) violated at these points.
(h) List all x-values for which ƒ(x) has a nonremovable discontinuity. Explain what
section(s) of the definition of continuity is (are) violated at these points.
In problems 2-10, find the limit (if it exists) using analytic methods (i.e. without using a
calculator).

4x k,x 0
(a) For what value of k will f be piecewise continuous at x = 0? Explain why this is
true using one-sided limits. (Hint: A function is continuous at
x =c if (1) f(c) exists, (2) exists, and (3) .)
