Example Question #32 : How To Find Differential Functions

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Attempting to evaluate directly (plug in -1 for ) results in the indeterminate form: 

Further analysis is required:

This final form can be evaluated directly:

Example Question #33 : How To Find Differential Functions

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Attempting to evaluate directly (plug in 2 for ) results in the indeterminate form: 

Further analysis is required:

This final form can be evaluated directly:

Example Question #37 : How To Find Differential Functions

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We evaluate the limit directly (plug in 3 for ) and obtain:

from which we determine that the the function has a vertical asymptote at this point (it goes off to positive or negative infinity). The limit Does Not Exist.

Example Question #38 : How To Find Differential Functions

Given:
