Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.

(a) A limit exists if there is some real number that it is equal to.

(b) The limit of fxas x→cis the value fc.

(c) The limit of fxas x→cmight exist even if the value of fcdoes not.

(d) The two-sided limit of fxas x→cexists if and only if the left and right limits of fxexists as x→c.

(e) If the graph of fhas a vertical asymptote at x=5, then limx→5fx=∞.

(f) If limx→5fx=∞, then the graph of fhas a vertical asymptote at x=5.

(g) If limx→2fx=∞, then the graph of fhas a horizontal asymptote at x=2.

(h) Iflimx→∞fx=2, then the graph offhas a horizontal asymptote aty=2.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1. Given information.

A limit exists if there is some real number that it is equal to.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

We know that the limit expression is given by limx→cfx=L.

The limit exists if there is some real number that it is equal to.

Hence, the statement is true.

03

Part (b) step 1. Given information.

The limit offxasx→cis the valuefc.

04

Part (b) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

From the limit expression limx→cfx, the value is not fc, but it is almost fcexcluding the value at x=c.

Hence, the given statement is false.

05

Part (c) step 1. Given information.

The limit of fxas x→cmight exist even if the value offcdoes not.

06

Part (c) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

From the limit expression limx→cf(x), the limit might exist even if the value f(c)does not exist.

Hence, the statement is true.

07

Part (d) step 1. Given information. 

The two sided limit off(x)asx→cexists if and only if the left and right limits off(x)exists asx→c.

08

Part (d) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

From the graph, xapproaches -1from the left side the height of the graph approaches y=1limx→-1f(x)=1.

If xapproaches -1from the left side the height of the graph approaches y=1, role="math" localid="1648018501976" limx→-1f(x)=1.

If limx→-1f(x)=limx→-1f(x), then limx→-1f(x)=1.

Hence, the given statement is true.

09

Part (e) step 1. Given information. 

If the graph of fhas a vertical asymptote at x=5, thenlimx→5f(x)=∞.

10

Part (e) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

From the graph, fhas a vertical asymptote, then either limx→5f(x)=∞or limx→5f(x)=-∞.

Hence, the given statement is false.

11

Part (f) step 1. Given information. 

Iflimx→5f(x)=∞, then the graph offhas a vertical asymptote atx=5.

12

Part (f) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

If the limit expression is given by limx→5f(x)=∞or limx→5f(x)=-∞, the graph must have a vertical asymptote at x=5.

Hence, the given statement is true.

13

Part (g) step 1. Given information.

Iflimx→2f(x)=∞, then the graph offhas a horizontal asymptote atx=2.

14

Part (g) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

If the limit expression is given by limx→2f(x)=∞, the graph must have a vertical asymptote at x=2and no horizontal asymptote.

Hence, the statement is false.

15

Part (h) Step 1. Given information.

If limx→∞f(x)=2, then the graph of fhas a horizontal asymptote aty=2.

16

Part (g) Step 2. Determine the given statement is true or false.

If the limit expression is given by limx→∞f(x)=2, the graph would have a horizontal asymptote aty=2.

Hence, the given statement is true.
