Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Limits
Evaluate the limit:
Does Not Exist
Directly evaluating the limit will produce an indeterminant answer of
.Rewriting the limit in terms of sine and cosine,
, we can try to manipulate the function in order to utilize the property .Multiplying the function by the arguments of the sine functions,
, we can see that the limit will be .
Example Question #1 : Calculus Ii
Find the limit of
as approaches infinity.
Inconclusive
The expression
can be rewritten as .Recall the Squeeze theorem can be used to solve for the limit. The sine function has a range from
, which means that the range must be inside this boundary.
Multiply the
term through.
Take the limit as
approaches infinity for all terms.
Since the left and right ends of this interval are zero, it can be concluded that
must also approach to zero.The correct answer is 0.
Example Question #1 : Limit Concepts
Determine the limit.
To determine,
, graph the function and notice the direction from the left and right of the curve as it approaches .Both the left and right direction goes to negative infinity.
The answer is:
Example Question #2 : Limits
Which of the following is true?
and exist if and only if exists.
If
exists, then and both exist.If neither
nor exist, then also doesn't exist.If
and , then exists.If
and , then exists.If
and , then exists.This can be proven rigorously using the
definition of a limit, but it is most likely beyond the scope of your class.Example Question #1 : Limits
Determine the limit:
Isolate the constant in the limit.
The limit property
.Therefore:
Example Question #2 : Limits
Evaluate the limit, if possible:
To evaluate
, notice that the inside term will approach infinity after substitution. The inverse tangent of a very large number approaches to .The answer is
.Example Question #1 : Limit Concepts
Evaluate the following limit:
The first step is to factor out the highest degree term from the polynomial on top and bottom (essentially pulling out 1):
which becomes
Evaluating the limit, we approach
.
Example Question #2 : Limits
Evaluate the following limit:
To evaluate the limit, first pull out the largest power term from top and bottom (so we are removing 1, in essence):
which becomes
Plugging in infinity, we find that the numerator approaches zero, which makes the entire limit approach 0.
Example Question #9 : Limit Concepts
Evaluate the following limit:
To evaluate the limit, first pull out the highest power term out of the numerator and denominator (so essentially you are pulling 1):
As you can see, the
and terms as they approach infinity go to zero. What is left over is .
Example Question #1 : Limit Concepts
Evaluate the following limit:
To evaluate this limit easily, simply pull out a factor of the highest degree term over the highest degree term (1):
As you can see, after the
divides to 1, then the denominator becomes 1 and the numerator becomes 0.The final answer is therefore
