Chapter 1: Problem 5

Find the limit (if it exists). If it does not exist, explain why. $$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 5^{+}} \frac{x-5}{x^{2}-25} $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The limit of given function as \(x\) approaches \(5^{+}\) is \( \frac{1}{10} \).

Step by step solution

01

Simplify expression

Firstly, simplify the expression in question by factoring the terms in the equation. In denominator, \(x^{2} - 25\) can be expressed as \((x - 5)(x+5)\) by applying the difference of squares formula. Thus, the equation becomes: \(\frac{x-5}{(x - 5)(x + 5)}\)
02

Cancel similar terms

After simplifying, notice that \(x - 5\) on the top and bottom of the expression cancels out, leaving behind \(\frac{1}{x + 5}\). Therefore, the expression can be written as \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 5^{+}} \frac{1}{x + 5}\)
03

Compute limit

Finally, substitute '5' for all occurrences of \(x\) in the equation. Doing so, we get \(\frac{1}{5 + 5}\) which gives us \(\frac{1}{10}\).

Show that the Dirichlet function \(f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}0, & \text { if } x \text { is rational } \\\ 1, & \text { if } x \text { is irrational }\end{array}\right.\) is not continuous at any real number.

In the context of finding limits, discuss what is meant by two functions that agree at all but one point.

Write the expression in algebraic form. \(\sin (\arccos x)\)

After an object falls for \(t\) seconds, the speed \(S\) (in feet per second) of the object is recorded in the table. $$ \begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline t & 0 & 5 & 10 & 15 & 20 & 25 & 30 \\ \hline S & 0 & 48.2 & 53.5 & 55.2 & 55.9 & 56.2 & 56.3 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ (a) Create a line graph of the data. (b) Does there appear to be a limiting speed of the object? If there is a limiting speed, identify a possible cause.
