Determine the value of the constant \(a\) for which the function $$f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{x^{2}+3 x+2}{x+1} & \text { if } x \neq-1 \\\a & \text { if } x=-1\end{array}\right.$$ is continuous at \(-1.\)
Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The line \(x=1\) is a vertical asymptote of the function \(f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-7 x+6}{x^{2}-1}.\) b. The line \(x=-1\) is a vertical asymptote of the function \(f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-7 x+6}{x^{2}-1}.\) c. If \(g\) has a vertical asymptote at \(x=1\) and \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} g(x)=\infty\) then \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} g(x)=\infty.\)
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. $$f(x)=2^{x}$$
Graph the function \(f(x)=\frac{\sin x}{x}\) using a graphing window of \([-\pi, \pi] \times[0,2] .\) a. Sketch a copy of the graph obtained with your graphing device and describe any inaccuracies appearing in the graph. b. Sketch an accurate graph of the function. Is \(f\) continuous at \(0 ?\) c. Conjecture the value \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}.\)
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. $$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x^{2}+x}{x}=\infty$$
