Question
For the functions in 4653, do the following: (a) Make a table of values of f(x) for x = 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001. (b) Make a conjecture about the value of lim x0 f(x). (c) Graph the function to see if it is consistent with your answers to parts (a) and (b). (d) Find an interval for x near 0 such that the difference between your conjectured limit and the value of the function is less than 0.01. (In other words, find a window of height 0.02 such that the graph exits the sides of the window and not the top or bottom of the window.)
Solution
The first step in solving 1.8 problem number 46 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: For the functions in 4653, do the following: (a) Make a table of values of f(x) for x = 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001. (b) Make a conjecture about the value of lim x0 f(x). (c) Graph the function to see if it is consistent with your answers to parts (a) and (b). (d) Find an interval for x near 0 such that the difference between your conjectured limit and the value of the function is less than 0.01. (In other words, find a window of height 0.02 such that the graph exits the sides of the window and not the top or bottom of the window.)
From the textbook chapter LIMITS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
