Example Questions

Example Question #341 : Calculus Ii

Evluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There is no limiting situation in this equation (like a denominator) so we can just plug in the value that n approaches into the limit and solve:

Example Question #342 : Calculus Ii

Evluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There is no limiting situation in this equation (like a denominator) so we can just plug in the value that n approaches into the limit and solve:

Example Question #343 : Calculus Ii

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There is no limiting situation in this equation (like a denominator) so we can just plug in the value that n approaches into the limit and solve:

Example Question #344 : Calculus Ii

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There is no limiting situation in this equation (like a denominator) so we can just plug in the value that n approaches into the limit and solve:

Example Question #345 : Calculus Ii

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The cosecant is the reciprical of the sine of an angle. The sine of pi is 0; so the reciprical of 0 is DNE. So when we insert x=pi into the equation, we get:

Example Question #346 : Calculus Ii

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We see that we cannot factor this to make the denominator not equal 0; hence this limit DNE because the denominator is zero.

Example Question #347 : Calculus Ii

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There is no limiting situation in this equation (like a denominator) so we can just plug in the value that n approaches into the limit and solve:

Example Question #348 : Limits

Find the limit, approaching from the right:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the limit of the whole thing we have to find the individual limits of the top and bottom of the fraction, coming from the right.

For the top: 

 as , because  and cos(x) is a continuous function.

 as you approach 0.

So, near 0 we're looking at what's basically . And we know that  is positive for positive values of x near 0, so with these two facts combined we have enough information to see that

 .

Example Question #348 : Calculus Ii

Evaluate the limit:

Possible Answers:

Does not exist

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The limiting situation in this equation would be the denominator. Plug the value that x is approaching into the denominator to see if the denominator will equal 0. In this question, the denominator will not equal zero when x=0; so we proceed to insert the value of x into the entire equation.

Example Question #349 : Calculus Ii

Evaluate the following limit:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To evaluate the limit, we must first pull out a factor consisting of the highest power term divided by itself (one, essentially):

After the factor we created becomes 1, the negative exponent terms go to zero as x approaches infinity, therefore we are left with .
