Find
a. lim 𝑓(𝑥) =1
𝑥→0+
As x is approaching zero from the right, x will be greater than zero. Therefore, need to use the second
equation 1 + 𝑥 2
b. lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 1
𝑥→0−
As x is approaching zero from the left, x will be less than zero. Therefore, need to use the first equation
1 − 𝑥2
c. lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 1
𝑥→0
As x approaches zero, x will be equal to zero. Therefore, need to use the first equation 1 − 𝑥 2
d. 𝑓(0) = 1
a. lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 1
𝑥→1+
b. lim 𝑓(𝑥) = -1
𝑥→1−
When the limit of the given function as x approaches 1 from the right, x is equal to 1. When the limit of
the given function as x approaches 1 from the left, x is equal to -1. Since these two are not equal to each
other, when x is approaching 1, the limit does not exit.
d. 𝑓(1) = undefined
7) A long-distance telephone service charges $0.09 per minute for calls lasting 10 minutes or more
and $0.18 per minute for calls lasting less than 10 minutes

a. If x is the volume of a purchase before the discount is applied, then write a piecewise definition
for the discounted price P(x) of this purchase.
b. Use one sided limits to investigate the limit of P(x) as x approaches $1000. What about as x
approaches $3000?
