STEM 2: Basic Calculus

Seatwork for Monday, November 12

Directions: Please watch the video attached with this MS Word file. Then answer the items from the pdf
files indicated below on your yellow pad paper.

1. Please refer to the first pdf file. Exercise 3.1 from Calculus by Barnett.
The answer to #1 is 𝑓(−0.5) = 2

Please answer #s 2,3 and 4

2. The answers to #5 are:

a. lim− 𝑓(𝑥) = 2
𝑥→0
b. lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 2
𝑥→0+
c. lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 2
𝑥→0
d. 𝑓(0) = 2

Please answer #s 6 and 7 except for 7e

3. The answer for 7e is:

e. The limit from the left is not equal to the limit from the right. This means that the limit as x
approaches 2 does not exist. Redefining 𝑓(2) wouldn’t make the limit equal to this
functional because the limit does not exist.

Please answer #s 8 (a to e), 9, 11, 15 (a to e), 17 (a to e), 20 (a to e).

4. Please refer to the second pdf file. Exercise 3.2 from Barnett.

Please answer #s 1 – 8.
