Let $$g(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}x^{2}+x & \text { if } x<1 \\\a & \text { if } x=1 \\\3 x+5 & \text { if } x>1.\end{array}\right.$$ a. Determine the value of \(a\) for which \(g\) is continuous from the left at 1. b. Determine the value of \(a\) for which \(g\) is continuous from the right at 1. c. Is there a value of \(a\) for which \(g\) is continuous at \(1 ?\) Explain.
A sequence is an infinite, ordered list of numbers that is often defined by a function. For example, the sequence \(\\{2,4,6,8, \ldots\\}\) is specified by the function \(f(n)=2 n\), where \(n=1,2,3, \ldots .\) The limit of such a sequence is \(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f(n)\), provided the limit exists. All the limit laws for limits at infinity may be applied to limits of sequences. Find the limit of the following sequences, or state that the limit does not exist. \(\left\\{2, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{4}{9}, \frac{5}{16}, \ldots\right\\},\) which is defined by \(f(n)=\frac{n+1}{n^{2}},\) for \(n=1,2,3, \ldots\)
Evaluate the following limits. $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-1}{\sin ^{2} x}$$
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 \(-1.\)
Evaluate the following limits. $$\lim _{\theta \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{1}{2+\sin \theta}-\frac{1}{2}}{\sin \theta}$$
