# Limits. Need recheck.

1. Sep 24, 2011

We have to graph these functions where they are real. (no need to graph where complex)

d)
For d Im getting a point at (1,0) and then half a c shaped graph opening towards the right. Is
this correct?
g)
For g I have 0 on the negative side. and a straight line in the first quadrant. :s Im not sure about this one.

I have to find the limit.
I realize this has two different directional limits positive and negative infinity. does that mean the actual limit does not exist?

Is this very easy? I mean iim confused do i simply have to plug in underroot etc or is it something much more complicated :S

It looks to me like there is a serious typographical error in this problem! The point of the exercise is to show that, as x gets closer and closer to 2, f(x) gets closer and closer to 4 and then show that you can use the same argument with the general $\epsilon$ as you did with .01 and .001.
(a) asks "What is the value of $x_1$ such that f(x)= 2+ 0.01". That obviously should be "f(x)= 4+ 0.01"! And (b) should be " "What is the value of $x_1$ such that f(x)= 4- 0.01". f(x)= 4+ 0.01 is the same as $x^2= 4.01$. Find $x_1$ by taking the square root of both sides.
