Example Question #11 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the limit:
The limiting situation in this equation would be the denominator. Plug the value that n is approaching into the denominator to see if the denominator will equal 0. In this question, the denominator will equal zero when n=5; so we try to eliminate the denominator by factoring. When the denominator is no longer zero, we may continue to insert the value of n into the remaining equation.
We see that we can no longer factor this to make the denominator not equal; hence this limit DNE because the denominator is zero.
Example Question #12 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the limit:
The limiting situation in this equation would be the denominator. Plug the value that n is approaching into the denominator to see if the denominator will equal 0. In this question, the denominator will equal zero when n=-1; so we try to eliminate the denominator by factoring. When the denominator is no longer zero, we may continue to insert the value of n into the remaining equation.
We see that we can no longer factor this to make the denominator not equal; hence this limit DNE because the denominator is zero.
Example Question #11 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the limit:
Consider the domain of the function. Because this equation is a polynomial, n is not restricted by any value. Thus the way to evaluate this limit would simply be to plug the value that n is approaching into the limit equation.
Example Question #12 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the limit:
Consider the domain of the function. Because this equation is a polynomial, x is not restricted by any value. Thus the way to evaluate this limit would simply be to plug the value that x is approaching into the limit equation.
Example Question #13 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the limit:
The limiting situation in this equation would be the denominator. Plug the value that n is approaching into the denominator to see if the denominator will equal 0. In this question, the denominator will equal zero when n=4; so we try to eliminate the denominator by factoring. When the denominator is no longer zero, we may continue to insert the value of n into the remaining equation.
Example Question #14 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the limit:
The limiting situation in this equation would be the denominator. Plug the value that n is approaching into the denominator to see if the denominator will equal 0. In this question, the denominator will equal zero when n=-3; so we try to eliminate the denominator by factoring. When the denominator is no longer zero, we may continue to insert the value of n into the remaining equation.
Example Question #17 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the limit:
The limiting situation in this equation would be the denominator. Plug the value that n is approaching into the denominator to see if the denominator will equal 0. In this question, the denominator will equal zero when n=-1; so we try to eliminate the denominator by factoring. When the denominator is no longer zero, we may continue to insert the value of n into the remaining equation.
Example Question #18 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
In the graph of a function above, what is ?

Using the graph provided above, we can observe the behavior of the function as from the left to determine that
Example Question #19 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
In the graph of a function above, what is ?
Does Not Exist
Using the graph provided above, we can observe the behavior of the function as to determine that
Example Question #20 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
In the graph of a function above, what is ?
Does Not Exist
Does Not Exist
Using the graph provided above, we can observe the behavior of the function as to determine that does not exist. This is because the one-sided limits as are different; as from the left, the limit equals , but as from the right, the limit equals .
