Chapter 1: Problem 17

Find the limits. \(f(x)=5-x, g(x)=x^{3}\) (a) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)\) (b) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} g(x)\) (c) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} g(f(x))\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solutions are: (a) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = 4\), (b) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} g(x) = 64\), and (c) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} g(f(x)) = 64\).

Step by step solution

01

Find \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)\)

Substitute 'x = 1' directly into the function \(f(x)=5-x\).\nSo, \[\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)=f(1)=5-1=4.\]
02

Find \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} g(x)\)

Substitute 'x = 4' directly into the function \(g(x)=x^{3}\).\nThis gives \[\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} g(x)=g(4)=4^{3}=64.\]
03

Find \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} g(f(x))\)

First we substitute \(f(x)\) into \(g(x)\) to create a new function, let's call this function \(h(x)\). Hence, \(h(x) = g(f(x)) = (5 - x)^3\). Then we substitute 'x = 1' into \(h(x)\). This gives, \[\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} g(f(x))=h(1)=(5 - 1)^3=4^{3}=64.\]

Most popular questions from this chapter

True or False? Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. If \(f(x)=g(x)\) for \(x \neq c\) and \(f(c) \neq g(c),\) then either \(f\) or \(g\) is not continuous at \(c\).

Prove that for any real number \(y\) there exists \(x\) in \((-\pi / 2, \pi / 2)\) such that \(\tan x=y\)

The signum function is defined by \(\operatorname{sgn}(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}-1, & x<0 \\ 0, & x=0 \\ 1, & x>0\end{array}\right.\) Sketch a graph of \(\operatorname{sgn}(x)\) and find the following (if possible). (a) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \operatorname{sgn}(x)\) (b) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \operatorname{sgn}(x)\) (c) \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \operatorname{sgn}(x)\)

Use the Intermediate Value Theorem and a graphing utility to approximate the zero of the function in the interval [0, 1]. Repeatedly "zoom in" on the graph of the function to approximate the zero accurate to two decimal places. Use the zero or root feature of the graphing utility to approximate the zero accurate to four decimal places. $$ h(\theta)=1+\theta-3 \tan \theta $$

True or False? In Exercises \(50-53\), determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. If \(f\) has a vertical asymptote at \(x=0,\) then \(f\) is undefined at \(x=0\)
