Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a set of calculus problems, with the original poster expressing difficulty in solving several of them. The problems appear to involve concepts such as continuity and limits.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about specific misunderstandings related to problem 1, suggesting the need to establish continuity and evaluate limits. There are also mentions of the necessity of plotting functions and evaluating limits after plotting.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided hints and guidance on how to approach the problems, particularly regarding continuity and limits. However, there is no clear consensus on the solutions, and multiple interpretations of the problems are being explored.

Contextual Notes

The original poster has completed half of the problems and acknowledges uncertainty in their approach. Forum rules require participants to show their attempts before receiving help, which has been noted in the discussion.

I completed 4 out of the 8 problems. I just don't know how to do these (As in I know what I'm doing is wrong).

What don't you understand about problem 1? Establish continuity between the two parts by selecting k Hint: The value of f(3) must be the same when approaching x = 3 from the right and the left.

2. A plot is required.

3. After making the plot for 2, evaluate the limits.

4. Evaluate the limit.

IMO, these are very simple problems.
 
4 would be 0 correct?

Hello Jonny B. Welcome to PF !

According to the rules of this Forum, you need to show what you've tried before we can help you.

Also, you should include no more than two problems per thread.

The answer to #4 is zero.Added in Edit:
I do notice now that #2, and #3 are closely related.
