ANSWER TO QUESTION 1
The given function is . We want to find the derivative of this function at .
The derivative of this function is given by,
We now have to substitute in to to obtain,
This implies that,
Ans: A
ANSWER TO Q2.
The given limit is .
The function whose limit we are finding is a polynomial function. Since polynomial function are continuous everywhere, the limiting value is always equal to the functional value.
Thus,
This implies that,
Thus, .
Ans: A.
ANSWER TO Q3
The given function is .
We want to find the derivative of this function at .
We must first of all differentiate this function to obtain,
We can see that the derived function is constant, therefore value of will still give us
This implies that,
Ans: A
ANSWER TO Q4.
See attachment
ANSWER TO Q5.
The given function is .
To find the derivative of this function at,
, we must first differentiate this function.
But let us rewrite the rational function as a power function so that it will be easier to differentiate using the power rule of differentiation.
That is,
.
We differentiate now to obtain,
This implies that,
At
Ans: A
ANSWER TO Q6
The graph that has been described in the question is shown in the diagram above,
We can see from the graph that as we approach , from the left, the y-values are approaching .
That is,
Also as we approach from the right, the y-values are approaching .
That is,
.
Ans: D.
ANSWER TO Q7
The given piece-wise function is
Since
We evaluate the limit at of .
Since this is a polynomial function,
This implies that,
Ans: B.
ANSWER TO Q8
The given function is .
This is a rational function that is defined for all real values except,
Therefore the vertical asymptote is
We can see from the graph above that, as x approaches seven from the left, the function approaches negative infinity
That is .
Ans: A.
ANSWER TO Q9
The graph of the given piece-wise function is show as follows;
We can see from the graph that, as the x-values are approaching 3 from the left y-values are approaching .
Note the limit is not the same as the functional value in this case. Also limit in this case is the y-value we are approaching as we get closer and closer to 3, not necessarily at 3.
See graph
Ans: B
ANSWER TO Q10
The given function is
We want to find the limiting value of this function as the x-values approaches zero.
Thus,
Since the function is not defined at .
We evaluate the one-sided limits as follows,
Since the right hand limit is not equal to the left hand limit,
Does Not Exist.
ANS: C
ANSWER TO Q11
The given function is
To find the derivative of this function at,
, we must first differentiate this function.
But let us rewrite the rational function as a power function so that it will be easier to differentiate using the power rule of differentiation.
That is,
.
We differentiate now to obtain,
This implies that,
At
Ans: B
ANSWER TO Q12
We want to find the limit of the function as x approaches zero.
This is a polynomial function, therefore
Ans: B
