Problem 67

\(\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)\) means to find the limit as x approaches a from the left only, and \(\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)\) means to find the limit as \(x\) approaches a from the right only. These are called one-sided limits. Solve the following problems. $$\text { Find } \lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{-}} x \sqrt{16-x^{2}}$$

Problem 68

These are called one-sided limits. Solve the following problems. Explain why \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} 2^{1 / x} \neq \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} 2^{1 / x}.\)
