Creating functions satisfying given limit conditions Find a function \(f\) satisfying \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\frac{f(x)}{x-1}\right)=2\).
We say that \(\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=\infty\) if for any positive number \(M,\) there is \(a\) corresponding \(N>0\) such that $$f(x)>M \quad \text { whenever } \quad x>N$$ Use this definition to prove the following statements. $$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x^{2}+x}{x}=\infty$$
Determine the end behavior of the following transcendental functions by evaluating appropriate limits. Then provide a simple sketch of the associated graph, showing asymptotes if they exist. $$f(x)=1-\ln x$$
We write \(\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=-\infty\) if for any negative number \(M\) there exists \(a \delta>0\) such that $$f(x) < M \quad \text { whenever } \quad 0< |x-a| < \delta$$ Use this definition to prove the following statements. $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{-2}{(x-1)^{2}}=-\infty$$
A monk set out from a monastery in the valley at dawn. He walked all day up a winding path, stopping for lunch and taking a nap along the way. At dusk, he arrived at a temple on the mountaintop. The next day, the monk made the return walk to the valley, leaving the temple at dawn, walking the same path for the entire day, and arriving at the monastery in the evening. Must there be one point along the path that the monk occupied at the same time of day on both the ascent and descent? (Hint: The question can be answered without the Intermediate Value Theorem.)
